conectar
/koneɡˈtaɾ/ · B1 · verb
to connect, connect up, link
🔌 conectar = con (with) + nectar-like nect (tie): to tie together, like connect
From Latin con- (together) + nectere (to bind), the same root as English connect and nexus. Swap the English double n for a single n and add the Spanish verb ending -ar: connect → conectar. It also covers plugging in a device.
