lashing together

Securing with rope

Lashing together means binding or fastening things to one another, typically with rope, cord, or similar material wrapped repeatedly around them: They lashed the logs together to make a raft.

The phrase emphasizes creating a single unit from separate parts through tight, secure binding.

Figuratively, it can describe hastily combining disparate elements: The proposal was lashed together overnight.
