merge

merge
merge (v.) 1630s, "to plunge or sink in," from L. mergere "to dip, dip in, immerse, plunge," probably rhotacized from *mezgo, from PIE *mezg- "to dip, plunge" (Cf. Skt. majjati "dives under," Lith. mazgoju "to wash"). Legal sense of "absorb an estate, contract, etc. into another" is from 1726. Related: Merged; merging. As a noun, from 1805.
