Root Breakdown
Root-derivedconnect + -ion (act/result) = "the tying-together itself." It names either the physical link (an internet connection) or the relationship that linking creates (a personal connection). The social sense — "she has connections" — is the same knot seen as a network of people tied to you who can pull a string on your behalf.
