Etymology
1. 1563, from M.Fr.
emerger, from L.
emergere "rise out or up," from
ex- "out" +
mergere "to dip, sink" (see merge). The notion is of rising from a liquid by virtue of buoyancy.
Emergency "unforeseen occurrence" is c.1631.
Emergent (adj.) was first recorded c.1450.
2. First attested in the late 16th century. Borrowed from Middle French emerger, from Latin ēmergō (“to rise up or out”), from ē- (a variant of ex- (“out, forth”)) + mergō (“to dip, to sink”) See: Middle French '
emerger', Latin '
ēmergō'.
