patches
Covers worn spots
Patches is the plural of patch—small pieces of material used to cover holes, wounds, or worn spots: The jeans had patches on both knees.
Software patches are updates that fix bugs or security flaws.
Patches of land or color are distinct areas: patches of fog, patches of sunlight.
To go through a rough patch is to experience a difficult period.
Patches is also a common name for spotted dogs and cats.
