Come together in an emergency (5)

I believe the answer is:

merge

'come together' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in an emergency' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'MERGE' is hidden within 'emergency'.

(Other definitions for merge that I've seen before include "Become combined" , "Come together as one" , "Combine elements" , "Combine, blend" , "Amalgamate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
