The noun 'emersion' is transparently derived from the verb 'emerge' by adding the suffix '-ion'.

Etymology

Emersion comes from an old Latin word emergere meaning 'to rise out', and you can see the same idea in the common word emerge. So emersion is the act of 'coming into view' or rising up after being hidden, like the sun reappearing after an eclipse.
