🔗🌐 联网 = 联 connect/join + 网 net = join the net, get online
联 means to connect or join, 网 is a net or web. Together they mean to connect to a network — hence cyber- prefixes. 联 also shows up in 联系 (contact) and 联合 (unite).
网 — net radical 冂 + 亡 (phonetic)
網 (simplified 网) originally pictured a hunting or fishing net, with crossed mesh lines inside a frame. The modern simplified form 网 keeps that net shape directly. The traditional 網 adds 糸 (silk thread) for the material and 亡 as a phonetic hint for the wǎng sound.
