How Connected
Surface Forms
Morphology
connect = con + nect
The verb is historically con- + nect, but 'nect' is not a standalone English word and the Latin combining forms are not recognizable to typical learners, so the components do not help infer meaning.
Etymology
Connect comes from the Latin parts con- 'together' and nectere 'to bind'. So to connect things physically is to 'bind together' or join them so they form one whole.
