The word עדה EDAH, 'congtegation', of the uni-literal root D, appears to be a variant of עוד OD, 'more', and of עוּז UZ, 'collect', as in Ex. 9:19. Also of
עדד, עזז, עסס, עצץ, עשש
and also of
אד, אז, אט, אץ, אש, את
 Hmmm, I always assumed it was rather related to עד ED (witness) rather than עוד OD... :-); being a collection of witnesses to an important event or message.

Shalom
