unify
Make into one
To unify is to bring together into a single whole.
Separate states unify into a nation; a leader unifies factions behind a common cause.
The word implies overcoming division or difference: The coach unified a team of clashing egos.
Unify can also describe making things consistent or standardized: The company unified its branding across all products.
