Etymology

The noun **plonge** comes from the French verb *plonger* “to dive, immerse”. *Plonger* itself is derived from the Latin *plungere* “to plunge”, a word originally associated with the use of lead weights (*plumbum*) in diving. First attested in 19th‑century colloquial French, the noun designates the state of being deeply immersed, often in reading or thought.
