what does it mean to say the house was submerged by a river of wind?

Explanation:

The Latin root "merg" means "to dip" and the prefix "sub -" means "under". So, "submerged" means "under - dipped" or "covered by dipping under". In the context of "the house was submerged by a river of wind", it implies that the house was covered or enveloped as if dipped under the force of the wind.

Answer:

It means that the house was covered or enveloped by the force of the wind (as if dipped under the "river" of wind, using the meaning from the Latin root and prefix).
