fusion
Melting into one
Fusion is the joining of separate things into a unified whole.
In physics, nuclear fusion occurs when atomic nuclei combine, releasing enormous energy—the process that powers the sun.
In cooking, fusion blends culinary traditions: Thai-Mexican fusion.
Fusion jazz merges jazz with rock or funk.
The word emphasizes that distinct elements have merged rather than merely mixed.
