To annex land is to take it and add it to your own country, usually land that sits next to you. Governments annex a region; a person does not annex a bedroom. It is a cold, official word. You meet it in history and in the news: one state takes a piece of another, puts up its flag, and says “this is ours now.” Force is often in the picture, though actually the taking can also hide behind a vote, a treaty, or a claim on paper. The important shape is “add what is next to you and keep it,” not simply “attack.” People also use annex as a noun for a smaller building stuck onto a bigger one (in Britain often spelled annexe). That is the same “add on” idea, but a much quieter one. In careful writing the verb is about territory; the extra building is a thing.
組成The verb comes from Old French annexer (“to join”), from Latin ad (“to”) + nectō (“tie, bind”). The noun was borrowed from French annexe, from Latin annexus. It is a doublet of the rare medical word adnex.
