“You may want to place fields on a data-entry form quite differently from the way you want them to print on reports. For example, on the data-entry form, you might want to display separate fields for first, middle, and last names, but on a printed report, you may want to concatenate those fields into a single full name.”-- From an article by William Porter in Macworld, February 1, 2011

Did you know?
Concatenate comes directly from Latin concatenare, which in turn is formed from con-, meaning with or together, and catena, meaning chain. In fact, the word chain itself evolved from catena. Concatenate has a somewhat longer history as an adjective, meaning linked together, than as a verb. The adjective first appeared in English in the 15th century and the verb was in use by the early 17th century. Catenate, a verb in its own right meaning to link in a series, had also arrived on the scene by the early 17th century.
