coalesce

Blend into one

Coalesce means to come together and form a unified whole.

Separate elements coalesce when they merge or blend: The droplets coalesced into a puddle.

The word often describes gradual combination—scattered ideas coalescing into a theory, factions coalescing into a movement, or vague feelings coalescing into a decision.

It implies fusion rather than mere assembly.
