About This Root
From Latin mergere (to dip, sink, plunge), past participle mersum. Prefixes control the direction of sinking: submerge (sink under), immerse (dip into), emerge (rise out of). Merge itself means two things sinking into one. The immersive experience metaphor — being 'plunged into' something — is increasingly common.
