Morphology

connected = connect (transparent) = connect + ed

The relational sense is a direct adjectival use of the past participle 'connected' meaning linked or associated, which learners can infer from 'connect'.

Etymology

Connected comes from the Latin parts con- 'together' and nectere 'to tie', so imagine people 'tied' to each other by work, clubs, or organisations. That's why connected means having a close relationship or link with other people or groups.
