Morphology
The meaning is directly composed from 'submerge' (to immerse or cover completely) plus the preposition 'in' indicating the target, so a learner who knows both words can infer 'to immerse in' literally. The extended, metaphorical use (e.g. 'submerge oneself in music') follows a common cross-linguistic 'immerse in' pattern, making the non-literal sense similarly predictable.
Etymology
The verb submerge in comes from the clear image of putting something completely under a liquid: sub means 'under' and merge means 'to dip or sink'. That's why it now means both 'to put something fully into liquid' and 'to become deeply involved in an activity or feeling'.
