stringing together
Connecting in series
Stringing together means connecting items in sequence, like beads on a string.
The phrase usually describes assembling words, ideas, or events into a coherent whole: She could barely string together a sentence, He strung together a series of odd jobs to pay rent.
The emphasis is on the sequential, often improvised nature of the combination.
