merge

/ˈmer.d͡ʒe/

Rhymes with -erd͡ʒe

Where it comes from

Inherited from Latin mergere, itself ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *mesg- (“to plunge, dip”), with a unique sense developing in Balkanic or Eastern Romance. Compare Aromanian njergu; cf. also Albanian mërgoj (“to move away”) and Sardinian imbergere (“to push”). The semantic shift could be owed to confusion with pergere or meāre.
