emergences
Acts of appearing
Emergences is the plural of emergence, the act or process of coming into view, existence, or prominence.
The word often describes phenomena appearing from concealment or development: the emergences of new species over millennia, multiple emergences of the same idea across different cultures.
In biology, emergences are outgrowths from plant surfaces—thorns, prickles, or hairs that develop from epidermal tissue rather than deeper structures.
