Wire
Thin metal strand
Wire is a thin, flexible strand of metal, typically used for conducting electricity or binding things together.
Barbed wire surrounds fences; copper wire carries current.
To wire something is to install electrical connections or to send money electronically: I wired her five hundred dollars.
A wire can also mean a hidden microphone: He wore a wire to the meeting.
To go down to the wire means to remain undecided until the last moment, from horse races decided at the finish line.
