intermingling

Fusing into one

Intermingling is the act or process of mixing together, blending different elements into one mass or group.

The word often describes the combining of distinct populations, cultures, or categories: the intermingling of immigrants with native residents, an intermingling of fact and fiction.

It emphasizes mutual mixing rather than one thing absorbing another.
