French
Etymology
Borrowed from Latin emergo, emergere.
Pronunciation
Verb
émerger
- to arrive at the top; to move upwards
- emerge (to come into view)
- (colloquial) to wake up
Conjugation
This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written émerge- before endings that begin with -a- or -o- (to indicate that the -g- is a "soft" /ʒ/ and not a "hard" /ɡ/). This spelling-change occurs in all verbs in -ger, such as neiger and manger.
