combiners
Things that unite
Combiners are things that combine—bringing separate elements together into a unified whole.
The term appears in linguistics for words that join clauses, in electronics for devices that merge signals, and in certain toy lines where multiple figures assemble into a larger robot.
In functional programming, combiners are functions that take other functions as inputs to produce new ones.
