[1] The univerbating process is epitomized in Talmy Givón's aphorism that "today's morphology is yesterday's syntax".

Although a univerbated product is normally written as a single word, occasionally it remains orthographically disconnected.
'good deal') acts like a single adjectival word that means 'cheap', the opposite of which is cher ('costly') as opposed to [un] mauvais marché ('a bad deal').
[3] Crasis (merging of adjacent vowels) is one way in which words are univerbated in some languages.
