The word for today is…

concatenate (adjective, verb):

*adjective*  
: linked together

*verb*  
: to link together in a series or chain

Source :[ Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/concatenate?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : Concatenate is a fancy word for a simple thing: it means “to link together in a series or chain.” It’s Latin in origin, formed from a word combining con-, meaning “with” or “together,” and catena, meaning “chain. ” (The word chain is also linked directly to catena.) Concatenate can also function in English as an adjective meaning “linked together,” as in “concatenate strings of characters,” but it’s rare beyond technology contexts. More common than either concatenate is the noun concatenation, used for a group of things linked together in a series, as in “a concatenation of events led to the mayor’s resignation.” Concatenation, like concatenate, is used mostly in formal contexts.
