online

💻 on + line = connected on the internet line, which Spanish borrowed as is

Spanish took online straight from English: on plus line, meaning switched on and connected to the network line. The Spanish pronunciation /onˈlain/ keeps the English sound, so you can hear on-line in it. Use it as an adjective for things connected to the internet.
