Thursday Word: Inosculation

[calzephyr]

Inosculation - noun.

Occasionally, I see a word and screencap it to check its cromulence or veracity of the claim. In this case, inosculation is a real word referring to the grafting or braiding of stems or tree trunks. Whether encouraged or accidental, the woody stems fuse together.

Literally making the stems kiss together?
