amalgamate

Lambeth is planning on closing two schools and amalgamating four others.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Tutsi rebels like Makenga were eventually amalgamated into the Congolese government's armed forces, in a process called "mixage".

Conservative Kit Malthouse said it would be "profoundly unfair if many, many years of careful stewardship were wiped out by being amalgamated with more profligate neighbouring councils".

But Will Smith, chief executive of Greenshaw, said the trust believes "it's in the best children's interests to amalgamate the schools".

She believes wellness culture has become culty in its own right, with wishy-washy aspects from different belief systems amalgamated into social media-friendly idioms.
