Susiliejimo

Susiliejimo is a Lithuanian noun describing the act or process of fusing, merging, or blending. It is the genitive form of susiliejimas, the standard noun for the process of coming together. The term is used widely across disciplines to denote two or more elements forming a single entity.

In science and technology, susiliejimas expresses a broad idea of coalescence. In physics and chemistry it can refer to the fusion or amalgamation of particles or states as they combine to form a new, unified system. In biology, it is used to describe cell fusion, where two or more cells merge into a single cell. In materials science and metallurgy, it can denote the blending or coalescence of substances, such as alloys created by melting and mixing. In information technology and data analysis, susiliejimas is sometimes used to describe the merging of data streams or datasets, an operation commonly termed data fusion or data integration in more technical language.

Etymology and usage notes: susiliejimas is formed with the prefix su- meaning together and a root related to joining, plus the suffix -imas; susiliejimo is the genitive form used to attribute the process to a subject (e.g., the susiliejimo of two materials). The term is neutral and widely understood in Lithuanian academic and technical writing.
