Root Explanation

Connection → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "nectere" (meaning to bind or tie). The word "connection" refers to the act of binding or tying things together, whether physically or metaphorically.

Memory Tip

Think of things being 'tied together' ('nectere') and 'together' ('con-') — that's what connection means.
