Also means
merge
Usage Note
vereinigen means to unite or merge, often reflexively as sich vereinigen. It built the term Vereinigte Staaten (United States) and the name of the Vereinte Nationen uses a sister form. Its root is ein (one), so it literally means 'to make one'.
Examples
"Die Gruppen vereinigen sich zu einer Partei."
