A string
Thread under tension
A string is a length of thin cord or twine, used for tying, binding, or threading: She tied the package with string.
String extends to anything similarly thin and elongated—a string of pearls, guitar strings, the fibrous strands in celery.
A string of events or items forms a connected sequence: a string of bad luck, a string of restaurants.
In computing, a string is a sequence of characters treated as a single unit of data.
To string something is to thread it or arrange it in a line: string lights on a tree, string beads on a wire.
With no strings attached, something comes without conditions or obligations.
