Morphology

integrate = integral (transparent) = integr + ate

Formed from the stem 'integr-' plus the productive verb-forming suffix '-ate', meaning 'make whole'; learners who know 'integral' or 'integrity' can infer this sense.

Etymology

Integrate comes from the Latin root integer, which means 'whole'. So to integrate things is to bring parts together to make one whole, like fitting pieces into a single puzzle.
