Etymology
'amalgamationist' originates from the word 'amalgamation,' which comes from Medieval Latin 'amalgamare,' meaning 'to mix or blend.'
'amalgamare' transformed into the English word 'amalgamation,' and eventually led to the formation of 'amalgamationist' to describe someone who supports amalgamation.
Initially, it meant 'to mix or blend,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'supporting the merging of entities.'
