Conj

/ˈkɒndʒ/ noun

Definition

An abbreviation for conjunction, the part of speech that connects words, phrases, or clauses together in a sentence.

Etymology

Shortened form of 'conjunction,' which comes from Latin 'conjungere' (to join together) from 'con-' (with) plus 'jungere' (to join).

Kelly Says

In grammar, conjunctions are the sentence's glue—'and,' 'but,' and 'or' seem simple, but they completely change meaning, like how 'I love pizza and broccoli' means something totally different from 'I love pizza but not broccoli!'
