plaiting
This term refers specifically to the interlacing of three or more strands, distinguishing it from simple twisting. While often used interchangeably with braiding, plaiting is more common in British English, whereas braiding is the dominant term in American English.
As a noun, the word can describe both the physical result (the braid itself) and the action of creating it. When used as an adjective, it typically modifies tools or methods associated with this specific weaving technique, such as a plaiting frame or plaiting pattern.
