Baptism comes from the Greek noun baptisma which is derived from baptismos, meaning "washing." So baptism does not specifically mean 'to submerge' but, rather, 'washing'.

The Greek name for baptism is "βάπτισμα" (baptisma), which derives from the verb "βαπτίζω" (baptizo), meaning "to immerse" or "to dip." In the context of Christian practices, it refers to the ritual of initiation and purification through water. Baptism holds significant importance in the Christian faith as a symbol of spiritual rebirth and entry into the community of believers.
