Word origin

The word 'emerge' comes from the Latin 'emergere', which is a combination of 'ex' (out) and 'mergere' (to dip). The original Latin sense was 'rise out of,' which evolved into the current meaning of 'come out or become known.' The word has been used in English since the late 16th century.
