become amass? In the verb usage meaning get together in a big group, not the noun Catholic mass or a mass of information.
I am thinking of reports that the Russian troops are amassing on the border of Ukraine. I am reasonably certain that this never used to be said: troops massed in places before. But now they amass instead.
Clouds used to mass on the horizon; do they now amass?
