The underlying meaning is "one thing formed out of many things" - applied to the United States of America, one country formed from many states.

The Latin word e (ex before a vowel) means from or out of; pluribus is the ablative plural of plusmeaning many or more; unum is the word for one.

It is a Latin phrase meaning "Out of many" or "From many, one". In modern times it is referring to the nation as a melting pot of many people from many nations.
