One way to picture combine: two separate things are brought together and from then on they work as one — not sitting side by side, but functioning as a single thing. That is why a machine that does three farm jobs in one pass, and a group of firms acting as one business, both get the name.

可以想成 combine 是「兩樣原本分開的東西被湊在一起,從此當成一個在運作」——不是並排放著,而是合起來變成一個。也因為這樣,一台一趟就做完三道農事的機器,和一群當成一家在運作的公司,都用這個字來稱呼。
