Root Explanation

Emergence → It is formed from "e-" (meaning out) and "mergere" (meaning to dip or plunge). The word describes the process of coming out or rising up from a submerged state.

Memory Tip

Think of something 'coming out' ('e-') from being 'dipped' or 'plunged' ('mergere') — that's why emergence means the process of coming into view or becoming apparent.
