blends
Merges into one
Blends are mixtures of different elements combined into a unified whole.
A coffee blend combines beans from different origins; a fabric blend mixes fibers like cotton and polyester.
In linguistics, a blend is a word formed by fusing parts of two others: smog from smoke and fog, brunch from breakfast and lunch.
The verb blend means to mix smoothly: Blend the ingredients until smooth.
Colors blend when they transition gradually into each other.
To blend in is to become inconspicuous: She tried to blend in with the crowd.
