Etymology: "Aggregations" is the plural of "aggregation," a noun built on the Latin verb "aggregare," which means "to add to a flock or herd." It combines "ad-" (to) with "grex" (flock, herd), so the original image is of animals being brought into a group. The Latin noun "aggregatio" carried the same sense of collecting things together into one mass. English took the idea over fairly directly, and the sense of gathering scattered things into a single whole has stayed close to the literal one. Over time the word has spread from physical heaps and crowds to abstract collections of data, statistics, and information, which is the sense in your meaning here.
