Root Explanation

Connectivity is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "nectere" (meaning to bind or tie). The word describes the quality of being connected or the state of being joined together.

Memory Tip

Think of things being 'tied together' ('nectere') and 'with' ('con-') to remember that connectivity refers to the state of being connected.
