'officially' changed from the Old French word 'official', and 'assembled' from the Old French word 'assembler', eventually becoming the modern English word 'officially-assembled'.
Initially, 'officially' meant 'by authority', and 'assembled' meant 'gathered together', evolving into the current meaning of 'formed in an official manner'.
