Connect with a flame
Answer:
WELD
Hint:
Think of a metal-joining process that uses intense heat, often seen in construction or manufacturing to fuse pieces permanently. It’s not soldering—this method creates a stronger bond.
Explanation:
"Connect with a flame" hints at joining two things using heat, which is exactly what welding does—melting metal to fuse pieces together. The word "flame" is a direct nod to the high-temperature process involved, whether from a torch or arc. It’s a straightforward definition with no hidden wordplay, just a clear link between fire and bonding materials.
