Definition
衔接 means 'to link up, to connect' with a focus on making separate parts fit together smoothly and seamlessly, like railway lines or sections of a thesis. It differs from 连接 (general 'connect'), 相连 (state of being connected), and 连贯 (coherent flow of ideas) by emphasizing a deliberate, tight joining that eliminates gaps or breaks.
