The answer

MERGE

What merge means

To combine or blend two or more things into a single unified whole, often used for businesses joining together or data being combined into one system.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *merger*, meaning "to plunge" or "to immerse," derived from Latin *mergere*, which has the same sense. The Latin root may be connected to Proto-Indo-European *smerǵ-, suggesting a meaning related to dipping or sinking. The modern sense of "combining into one" developed by the 17th century, likely from the idea of things becoming immersed or absorbed into a unified whole.
