It can also mean to rise up from water or a place. For example, “A dolphin emerged from the water”. In daily life, “emerge” is used when something new appears, or information becomes clear. For example, “A new idea emerged during the meeting.” The word often shows growth, progress, or discovery, where something hidden or unknown comes into view.
