Etymology
The word "unite" originates from the Latin unitus, past participle of unire ("to make one"), derived from unus ("one"). The morpheme un- preserves the core meaning of "oneness," while -ite functions as a verb-forming suffix, often indicating action or state. This reflects the word's logical progression from the concept of singularity to the act of bringing things together into one.
