Etymology
The word 'splice' originated in the 16th century, derived from Middle Dutch 'splissen' meaning 'to split'. It was initially used in the context of ropes and lines, referring to the act of interweaving the strands of two ropes to join them together. Over time, the term expanded to include various contexts, such as programming and fishing, reflecting its versatile nature.
