'immersive' originates from the Latin word 'immergere,' where 'in-' meant 'into' and 'mergere' meant 'to dip or plunge.'

'immergere' transformed into the French word 'immerger,' and eventually became the modern English word 'immerse,' from which 'immersive' is derived.

Initially, it meant 'to dip or plunge into something,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'providing a fully engaging experience.'
