Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means gather so the verb vocab version is to gather.
とる
When you gather things, you go around and take things from their original location to put them together in your gathering spot. In Japanese, when you take something, you could say 取る, right? This word has the same reading: とる.
