A connection, bond, or linked series; used in philosophy and theology to describe systematic relationships.
Direct Latin noun meaning 'a binding together,' from 'conectere' (to bind). This form appears in medieval philosophical and theological texts as a borrowed Latin term.
Medieval scholars loved using Latin terms like 'connexus' to sound authoritative—you see it in works discussing the 'nexus' or systematic connections between theological concepts, making philosophy sound more impressive!
