Etymology
Connective comes from the simple verb connect, which itself comes from old parts con- meaning 'together' and nect meaning 'to bind'. So a connective thing is one that joins or links parts together, which is why we call phrases, tissues, or passages 'connective' when they help hold ideas or parts together.
