SUBMERGE Meaning and
Definition
-
Submerge is a transitive verb that refers to the action of completely covering or immersing something in a liquid or a substance. It involves the act of plunging or sinking an object to a point where it is fully immersed beneath a liquid or substance.
When an object is submerged, it is fully concealed or hidden from view below the surface. This can refer to anything from a person diving beneath the water's surface, to a ship being completely engulfed by the sea, or even an item fully immersed in a bathtub or container. Submerging can also be used metaphorically to describe something being overwhelmed or consumed by a certain phenomenon or situation.
In addition to liquids, submerge can also be used to describe the act of burying or hiding something beneath a solid surface. For instance, an archaeologist might submerge themselves into the excavation site, as they dig deeper into the ground.
The term can also be used figuratively to describe a person or object being overwhelmed or absorbed by a particular emotion, task, or circumstance. In this sense, it denotes the complete involvement or immersion in something, to the point of being dominated or completely affected by it.
Overall, submerge encapsulates the action of fully enveloping or immersing something in a liquid, substance, or even figurative circumstances, conveying the idea of complete concealment, hiding, or absorption.
