different between montage vs photomontage

Borrowed from French montage (“assembly, set-up”), from monter (“to mount; to put up”) + -age (“suffix forming a noun meaning ‘action or result of something’”) (from Latin -?ticum (“suffix forming a noun indicating a state of being resulting from an action”)). Monter is derived from Vulgar Latin *mont?re, the present active infinitive of *monto (“to climb, mount, go up”), from m?ns, montem (“mountain”), from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“mountain”).
