merge
Join into one
Merge means to combine into a single entity.
Traffic lanes merge into one; companies merge to form a larger corporation; two rivers merge at a confluence.
In computing, to merge is to combine files, code branches, or datasets: We need to merge these changes before the release.
The word implies a blending where the original parts lose their separate identity.
