The keyword for 併 is join. This kanji conveys the idea of merging, combining, or bringing things together side by side into one unified whole. It often implies the act of annexing or consolidating separate entities, such as territories, organizations, or concepts, so that they function as a single unit. The sense is one of deliberate unification rather than a casual coming together.
