fundir
/funˈdiɾ/ · B2 · verb
to melt
🫠🔥 fundir ≈ fuse + found (as in foundry): metal melted and poured into a mold
Comes from Latin fundere, to pour or melt. English kin: fuse, found (to cast metal), foundry, confound, and refund. All share the idea of liquid flowing together into one mass, which is why fundir covers both melting and merging.
