Crossword Genius

Assembled to be picked up (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gathered

This clue is a double definition.

'assembled' is the first definition.
('gather' can be a synonym of 'assemble')

'be picked up' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gathered that I've seen before include "Collected in one place and concluded" , "Collected or assembled together" , "Brought together in one place" , "Concluded from evidence" , "Got together - tucked in" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
