linking arms
Hooked together walking
Linking arms is the act of two or more people interlocking their arms at the elbow, typically while walking or standing together.
The gesture signals solidarity, affection, or mutual support: The protesters marched down the street linking arms.
Friends might link arms casually while strolling; demonstrators link arms to form human chains.
