concatenation
Linking end-to-end
Concatenation is the act of linking things together in a chain or series.
In computing, it typically means joining strings of text end to end: The program concatenates first name and last name into a single field.
More broadly, it describes any sequence of connected elements: a concatenation of events, a concatenation of errors leading to disaster.
