Since this wasn't directly answered, it's concatenation (you can probably
call it autoconcatenation, if you like.) The MATLABby origins is that it
makes it easy to construct large matrices from blocks:
(using MATLAB syntax)
>> A = [1 2; 3 4];
>> B = [5; 6];
>> C = [7 8];
>> D = 9;
>> ABCD = [A B; C D]
ans =
1 2 5
3 4 6
7 8 9
