Something that joins or links two things together, like a wire connecting computers or a person who brings people together.
From 'connect' plus '-or' suffix (agent noun). 'Connect' comes from Latin 'conectere' meaning to bind together, entering English in the 1600s.
In network science, 'connectors' are people with unusually diverse friend groups across different social worlds—they're rarer than you'd think but disproportionately important for spreading ideas.
