What Wikipedia says

In phonetics and historical linguistics, fusion, or coalescence, is a sound change in which two or more segments with distinctive features merge into a single segment. This can occur both on consonants and in vowels. A word like educate is one that may exhibit fusion: /ˈɛdjʊkeɪt/ or /ˈɛdʒʊkeɪt/.
