interlacing

Threads passing through

Interlacing is the weaving or crossing of elements together, typically in an alternating over-and-under pattern: interlacing branches formed a canopy, the interlacing of plot lines.

In video technology, interlacing is a display method that draws alternating lines in successive passes, creating a full image from two partial scans—once standard for televisions, now largely replaced by progressive scanning.
