splices
Fuses rope ends
Splices is the plural of splice and the third-person singular verb form.
To splice is to join two things by interweaving or overlapping their ends—rope, wire, film, or genetic material.
Sailors splice lines; editors splice footage; geneticists splice DNA.
A splice is the resulting joint: The splices in the old film were visible as jumps.
