webbed fingers
Membrane-joined hand parts
Webbed fingers are fingers connected by a membrane of skin extending between them, like the toes of ducks and frogs.
The condition occurs naturally in some animals for swimming, and occasionally in humans as a birth defect called syndactyly.
Figuratively, webbed suggests anything joined or interconnected where separation is expected.
