Lewis & Short

Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

The word connectere could not be parsed. Trying a normal dictionary lookup:

No entries found. Showing closest matches:

    2. B. Esp.,
      1. 1. In discourse, to connect with what precedes, join to, etc.: facilius est enim apta dissolvere quam dissipata conectere, Cic. Or. 71, 235: illud non est in uno verbo translato, sed ex pluribus continuatis conectitur, id. de Or. 3, 41, 166: inter se pleraque conexa et apta, id. Part. Or. 39, 137; Quint. 10, 1, 2: verba lyrae conectere, Hor. Ep. 2, 2, 86: carmina secum gracili filo, Col. 10, 227: res ac verba, Quint. 2, 4, 15; 9, 4, 58: conexa oratio (opp. interrupta), id. 9, 4, 7: aliam majorem insaniam, to join to, Plin. 36, 15, 24, § 116; hence also: versus orationesque ejus, to quote, cite, Treb. Gall. 11 fin.
      2. 2. In philos. lang., = concludo, to annex or subjoin a logical conclusion: si enim est verum, quod ita conectitur: si quis, etc. … illud quoque verum est, etc., Cic. Fat. 6, 12; 7, 14: omne, quod ipsum ex se conexum sit (e. g. si lucet, lucet) verum esse, etc., id. Ac. 2, 30, 98.
        Hence, cō-nexus, a, um, P. a., = conjunctus, connected, joined, cohering together with something (very rare): sive aliud quid vis potius conexius (quam animus) ei (sc. corpori) fingere, Lucr. 3, 555: Silanum per adfinitatem conexum Germanico, Tac. A. 2, 43; so also without affinitas, of relationship: Caesari, id. ib. 2, 50; 4, 66: insequitur magno jam tunc conexus amore Patroclus, Stat. Achill. 1, 174.
      3. 2. In time, immediately following: conexi his funeribus dies, Cic. Pis. 5, 11.
        Hence, subst.: cōnexum (conn-), i, a necessary consequence, inevitable inference: ipsa ratio conexi, cum concesseris superius, cogit inferius concedere, Cic. Ac. 2, 30, 96: primumque quod est in conexo … necessarium est, id. Fat. 7, 14; cf. id. ib. 8, 15: quod Graeci συνημμένον ἀξίωμα dicunt, alii nostrorum conjunctum, alii conexum dixerunt, Gell. 16, 8, 9; cf. the context.
        And adv.: cōnexē (conn-), in connection, connectedly: dicere aliquid, Mart. Cap. 4, § 387.
