interlaced

Woven through each

Interlaced describes things woven or crossed together, with parts passing alternately over and under each other: interlaced fingers, interlaced branches.

In video technology, interlaced scanning draws alternating lines in each frame—odd lines first, then even—a method that reduces bandwidth but can produce visible flickering compared to progressive scanning.
