Plural of conjunction; words that join other words, phrases, or clauses together in sentences, like 'and,' 'but,' or 'because.'
Plural of conjunction from Latin conjunctio. In grammar, conjunctions emerged as a category when Latin and Greek grammarians needed to classify words that didn't fit other categories but served to connect ideas.
Without conjunctions, English would be just a string of independent statements with no relationships between ideas. Conjunctions are the glue that lets us build complex thoughts—'I went to the store AND bought milk BUT forgot eggs'—they create the logical structure of thinking itself.
