to gather
to collect; collected works; classifier for sections of a TV series etc: episode
bird (隹) + tree (木) = birds flocking to gather
The original oracle-bone form showed birds perched in a tree — many birds landing together in one place. From that image of birds flocking to a tree, the character extended to mean gathering, collecting, and assembled works.
