Submerge

To Submerge means to cause something to be covered or hidden beneath a surface, typically water or another liquid. This can involve completely immersing an object or person, or partially covering them. The act of submerging implies a loss of visibility or access, as the object becomes enveloped. It can also be used figuratively to describe the act of being overwhelmed or absorbed by something, such as emotions or ideas, leading to a temporary loss of external awareness.
