to run together

2. intr.

 a. Of liquid, esp. milk: to coagulate, solidify; to curdle. Also
trans.: to cause (milk, etc.) to solidify or curdle. Cf. senses 41a,
41b. Now rare.Later instances are more usually interpreted as sense
2b.

 b. Of substances: to combine, coalesce, esp. when in a liquid state
or through the addition of liquid; (also, of soil, etc.) to bind
together. Also trans.: to cause to combine or coalesce. Cf. sense 50.

 c. gen. To (cause to) combine, merge, or unite. Also trans.

Here, used as a noun, run-together seems to mean some kind of
combination or mixture. That's my best guess.
