1

to join or blend into one

To join or mix different things so they become one thing, and you cannot easily see the separate parts.

الگوی کاربرد: to fuse [A] with [B]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use "mix" when they want the stronger idea of things becoming one whole. "Mix" can mean the parts stay separate, while "fuse" suggests they join so closely that they seem like one thing. Learners may also think "fuse" is only about electricity; in modern English it is often used for ideas, styles, and cultures.
هم‌معنی‌ها
merge (Often used for companies or organizations joining, or for things slowly becoming one.)
متضادها
separate (Means to move things apart or keep them from being joined.)

electrical safety wire or device

A small safety part in an electrical system that stops electricity when there is too much power, to prevent damage or fire.

اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "fuse" with "switch" or "plug." A fuse is not something you turn on and off; it is a safety part that melts and breaks the circuit when there is a problem.
هم‌معنی‌ها
circuit protector (A more technical, general term for devices like fuses and breakers.)
متضادها
conductor (A conductor lets electricity flow freely, while a fuse is designed to stop the flow in a fault.)

to join materials by heat

To join two pieces of material by melting their edges so they become one piece when they cool.

الگوی کاربرد: to fuse [material A] to [material B]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may use "glue" when they mean the process of melting materials together. "Glue" is for an added sticky substance; "fuse" means the materials themselves melt and join.
هم‌معنی‌ها
weld (More specific to joining metals, especially with tools; often more common in everyday speech for metal work.)
متضادها
separate (Means to pull or break things apart instead of joining them.)

cord that ignites an explosive

A special string or tube that burns slowly and then makes a bomb or firework explode.

اشتباه رایج:

detonating cord (A more technical term for a type of fuse used to set off explosives.)
متضادها
safety device (A general term for things designed to prevent explosions, the opposite purpose of a fuse.)

of electrics, to stop working

When electricity in a house or machine stops suddenly because a fuse has blown or there is a problem in the wires.

الگوی کاربرد: [electrical device] fuses
اشتباه رایج:

هم‌معنی‌ها
short-circuit (More technical; often describes the actual electrical problem rather than simply stopping.)

function (Means to work correctly; the opposite of failing due to a fuse problem.)

to undergo nuclear fusion

In nuclear science, when small parts of atoms join to make a bigger atom and give out a lot of energy.

متضادها
fission (Refers to splitting heavy atomic nuclei, the opposite process of fusing light ones.)
