Amalgamation [change]
These words refer to Parts merging to form a Whole. (The Parts may also be encoded as Part_1 and Part_2.) There is a symmetrical relationship between the components that undergo the process, and afterwards the Parts are consumed and are no longer distinct entities that are easily discernable or separable in the Whole.
