How it's used
Focuses on the systematic process of organizing and drafting information into a structured format. While it can apply to writing computer code, it is most commonly used in formal or professional contexts for reports, manuals, or literary compilations. It implies a higher level of editorial effort than simply writing.
Examples
Who is responsible for compiling this report?
He compiled the interview content into a book.
