Root Explanation
Connectively → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "nectere" (meaning to bind or tie). The word "connectively" refers to the manner in which things are bound or tied together.
Memory Tip
Think of things being 'tied together' ('nectere') in a 'together' way ('con-') — that's what connectively means.
