Etymology

The word 'connexion' is a variant spelling of 'connection', derived from the Latin word 'connectere', which means to link or join together. The term appeared in English in the late 14th century, first used with the meaning of joining or linking things. Although 'connection' has become the more common spelling in modern usage, 'connexion' is still encountered in some contexts, particularly in British English, and often in literary or formal writings. The evolution of this term reflects the interplay of linguistic influences from Latin through Old French into Middle English, adapting to the changing patterns of usage over time. The use of 'connexion' to refer to both tangible links, such as physical connections between objects, and abstract links, such as emotional or social relationships, highlights the versatility and depth of the word.'
