One such construction we have already seen: if we choose all matrices of SL(2,R) with integer coefficients, then the corresponding elements of PSL(2,R) form the modular group PSL(2,Z).

Etymology
From Latin mergere, present active infinitive of merg? (itself ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *mesg- (“to plunge, dip”)), with a unique sense developing in Balkanic or Eastern Romance. Compare Aromanian njergu, njeardziri; cf. also Albanian mërgoj (“to move away”) and Sardinian imbergere (“to push”). There may have been an intermediate sense of "to fall" in earlier Romanian.
