Etymology[edit]
From Latin mergere, present active infinitive of mergō [itself ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *mesg- [“to plunge, dip”]], with a unique sense developing in Balkanic or Eastern Romance. Compare Aromanian njergu, njeardziri; cf. also Albanian mërgoj [“to move away”] and Sardinian imbergere [“to push”]. There may have been an intermediate sense of "to fall" in earlier Romanian.[1]
