Morphology

integrate = integral (transparent) = integr + ate

Derived from the stem 'integr-' with '-ate' meaning 'make or become whole'; the social sense 'become part of a whole' follows this pattern.

Etymology

Integrate comes from Latin integer 'whole'. So when people integrate into a community, they become part of the whole group and differences are reduced.
