Default What is the exact meaning of Ensemble?

I've searched it everywhere - Wikipedia, Dictionary.com and Google

Can anyone please explain what ENSEMBLE 'generally' means. ?

Cant have 'general' meanings beyond a dictionary can it?
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ensemble

Quote:
c.1440, from M.Fr. ensemblee "all the parts of a thing considered together," from L.L. insimul "at the same time," from in- intensive prefix + simul "at the same time." Musical sense first attested in Eng. 1844.

what you are looking for in that case is statistical ensemble. I leave it at that.
