Morphology

connexion = connect (semi-transparent) = connect + ion

Meaning is transparently formed from connect + -ion, but the variant spelling 'connexion' (x instead of 'ct') is archaic/less familiar and may confuse learners.

Etymology

Connexion comes from an old Latin word made of com- 'together' and nectere 'to tie'. So a connexion is like a 'tie' that links people, things, or events.
