A
wire is simply put a
rope made of
metal (usually
steel) strings instead of hemp
? or synthetic fibre. There are numerous ways of winding strings together to form the wire, depending on the thickness and durability the end product is supposed to have. Before wires, chain
?s were used to much the same effect.
The
telegraph was for a while called "the
wire". That usage is still evident in the verb "to wire", meaning to send information by means of a telegraph.
Wire is also a
rock band.
