solder
Circuit board binder
Solder is a metal alloy that melts at relatively low temperatures, used to join metal surfaces—especially in electronics and plumbing.
The verb means to join with solder: He soldered the wires to the circuit board.
Figuratively, to solder is to bond or unite firmly: shared hardship soldered their friendship.
The L is silent in American pronunciation, sounding like "sodder."
