A roundup is the act of gathering people, animals, or things together into one place. On a farm, a roundup is when cowboys gather cattle spread across a big area. In the news, a 'roundup' is a short summary that brings together the most important facts or stories on a topic, like a 'weekly news roundup.' Police also talk about a 'roundup' of criminals, meaning they arrested a group of them at once. (You may also see 'Roundup' as a brand name for a weed-killing spray — that's a different, trademarked use.)
(牛群等)集合驅趕;新聞的「彙整摘要」;警方的「集體逮捕行動」。
組成From the phrasal verb 'round up' (to gather together), written as one word when it's a noun.
