string
Kite's tethering line
A string is something long, thin, and fairly flexible, like the apron strings used to tie the garment.
Strings made of gut, nylon, or metal make the sounds on string instruments, which may be called strings collectively.
A string is also a line of continuity, like a performer’s string of hits or the string of characters that make up a password.
To string something up is to attach or suspend it with string.
To string someone along is to keep them waiting, or to deceive them.
