As a noun, it is a system of connected people, things, or computers that share information or resources. As a verb, it means to build and use such connections, especially for work or business.
From 'net' + 'work', originally meaning 'work made in the form of a net'. Over time it shifted to mean any complex web of connections, including social and electronic ones.
Whether it’s roads, friendships, or Wi‑Fi, a network is always about many small links forming a powerful whole. The internet is just the largest example—a network of networks that turned connection itself into a global resource.
