What does MERGE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To combine, blend, or join two or more things together so that they become one, gradually losing their separate identities.
Drivers merge onto a motorway when their lane joins an existing one, companies merge when two separate businesses combine into a single organisation, and files merge in computing when a program combines data from more than one source into one. The word applies equally to physical blending, such as colours that merge into one another at a sunset's edge, and to abstract combination, such as ideas or departments that merge over time. A merger, the noun formed from the verb, is especially common in business language, describing the formal joining of two companies under one name or structure. In every sense, merge implies that the resulting whole absorbs its parts rather than simply placing them side by side.
How MERGE is used
Common in everyday, business, and technical writing, describing lanes of traffic, companies, files, or ideas combining into one.
