The KJV renders 7 different Hebrew and Greek words as “assembly”
What it means
something called out, i.e. a public meeting (the act, the persons, or the place); also a rehearsal
from H7121 (קָרָא);
How the KJV renders it
assembly, calling, convocation, reading
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“assembly”
“calling”
also renders klēsis (G2821)
“reading”
also renders anágnōsis (G320)
