Etymology

The word "emerge" originates from Latin emergere, combining e- (meaning "out") and mergere (meaning "to dip" or "sink"). The literal sense of "rising out of a liquid" evolved metaphorically to describe anything coming into view or becoming apparent, such as facts "emerging" in an investigation. The root merge retains its core idea of immersion, while e- signals outward motion, creating a vivid image of something surfacing.
