submerge
Plunge beneath water
To submerge is to put or go under water or another liquid: The submarine submerged beneath the ice.
By extension, anything that gets buried or overwhelmed is submerged: submerged in debt, submerged in work.
A submerged truth lies hidden beneath the surface.
To submerge yourself in a subject is to immerse yourself completely in studying it.
