Root Explanation

Emerging → It is formed from "emergere" (from Latin, meaning to rise out or come forth) which is composed of "e-" (meaning out) and "mergere" (meaning to dip or plunge). The word "emerging" means coming out or rising from a state of being submerged or hidden.

Memory Tip

Think of something 'rising out' ('e-') from being 'dipped' ('mergere') — that's why emerging means coming forth or appearing.
