noun
montage
mahn-TAHZH/ˌmɑːnˈtɑːʒ/
A composition made by combining separate images or scenes.
The montage shows an apple tree changing through the four seasons.
Etymology
Montage literally names a mounting: the useful connection is setting things in position, rather than simply climbing. In cinema, the things mounted together are image fragments that form a composite or consecutive whole.
In context
