Conflate comes from the Latin conflare, meaning “to blow together” — from con- (“together”) and flare (“to blow”). In ancient usage, it referred literally to melting metals together in a furnace by blowing air on them. By the 17th century, the word had moved into figurative use in English, describing the merging of texts, ideas, or narratives into a single, unified whole.
