ties
Knotted silk neckwear
Ties are things that bind, fasten, or connect.
A tie secures something: you tie your shoes, tie a knot, tie up a package.
Railroad ties are crossbeams holding tracks together.
Ties are also connections between people—family ties, business ties.
In competitions, a tie means equal scores: The game ended in a tie.
A tie is also a necktie: He loosened his tie after the meeting.
