The word "connection" derives from the Latin connexionem (a binding together), formed from connectere (to tie together), which combines con- (together) and nectere (to bind). The suffix -ion transforms the verb into a noun, denoting the state or result of connecting. Over time, the spelling evolved from connexion to connection in modern English, reflecting phonetic simplification.
