Plural of connexivum; in logic and philosophy, connecting links or intermediate concepts.
From Latin 'connexiva,' the neuter plural of 'connexivus' (connecting). This is a technical term preserved from medieval Latin logic and philosophy.
Medieval philosophers borrowed this word to describe the logical 'connectors' between ideas, similar to how modern logic uses 'connectives'—but connexiva sounds far more mysterious and scholarly!
