I am a coffee lover, and I usually amalgamate my coffee with almond milk.
Coffee with almond milk? Never tried it, but now I want to, lol.
I wonder if there’s specific contexts to use words such as this, cause why not settle for easier words “mix” or “blend”.
Merriam Webster does say that “to emalgamate” is especially used to merge elements into a single body, and most of the examples online refer to either organizations joining together to form a larger one (emalgamated colleges forming a new university) or non-categorized things being put together to form one (information, arts, etc.). I sounds odd, though, when used in everyday speech, hahah.
I agree with you guys. The video link I will share likely provides further context or examples related to the term.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4msK0KbHD4w
When we amalgamate two things, it means you join them together or you make them into one; however, I read that this term is often used in a business context to describe the merging of organizations or groups. For example: “The joining of separate organizations or groups to make a big union.”
