cord
Twisted fiber rope
A cord is a length of flexible material—thicker than string, thinner than rope—used for tying, binding, or connecting: Pull the cord to close the blinds.
Electrical cords carry power to devices.
Anatomically, the spinal cord runs through the vertebrae, and the umbilical cord connects fetus to placenta.
To cut the cord is to sever a dependent relationship.
A cord is also a unit of firewood measuring 128 cubic feet, typically a stack four feet by four feet by eight feet.
