different between splice vs unshift
splice
English
Etymology
Circa 1525, borrowed from Middle Dutch splissen (Modern Dutch splitsen); akin to Middle Dutch splitten (“to split”), German spleißen (“to split, splice”), Spliss (“split ends, hair breakage”), French épisser (also from Dutch). The Dutch word originally referred only to the fraying of the ropes' ends, but was then also used for the entire process of fraying and retying; hence the peculiar semantic development from “split” to “join”.
