The act of joining or adding something to another thing; the state of being joined or adjacent.
From Latin 'adjunctio,' formed from 'adjungere' (to join to), combining 'ad-' (to) and 'jungere' (to join). This term was adopted into English in the 16th century from legal and logical terminology.
In logic and grammar, 'adjunction' describes the process of putting things together to create a meaningful whole—it's how a modifier like 'bright' becomes part of 'bright idea' by being adjoined to the noun.
