A connecting link or intermediate element; a term used in logic and philosophy to denote something that joins concepts together.
Latin neuter noun from 'connexivus' (connecting). This is a technical philosophical term from medieval logic preserved directly from Latin.
This word is almost never used outside of specialists reading medieval philosophical texts—but it's like having a time machine to how scholars thought and spoke 800 years ago!
