Etymology

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]
