Annect

/əˈnɛkt/ verb

Definition

An archaic or rare form meaning to connect, bind, or fasten together.

Etymology

From Latin 'annectere' (to bind to), from 'ad-' (to) and 'nectere' (to bind); an older English word that was eventually replaced by 'connect.'

Kelly Says

The prefix 'ad-' became 'an-' or 'a-' in many Romance languages, so 'annect' and 'connect' are basically cousins from different parts of the language family tree!
