The answer

PLAIT

What plait means

A braid of hair, rope, or other material made by interlacing three or more strands together in a regular pattern.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *plait*, meaning "fold" or "pleat," descended from Latin *plicitum*, past participle of *plicare*, "to fold." The sense shifted in English from a fold of cloth to a braid of hair, since both involve interlacing and folding strands together. The word entered Middle English through Norman French influence.
