hard-wire
Build into circuitry
Hard-wire means to connect directly with permanent wiring rather than through plugs or switches: The smoke detectors are hard-wired to the electrical system.
The figurative sense dominates modern usage—something hard-wired is built-in, innate, or unchangeable: Humans seem hard-wired to seek patterns.
The spelling varies: hard-wire, hardwire, hard wire.
