喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From Old French conjonction, from Latin coniūnctiō 'joining', from coniungere 'to join'.

源自拉丁文 coniūnctiō「連接」，來自 coniungere「連起來」。

Wiktionary

Two or more separate things arriving at the same place or the same moment and being taken as one — like two roads meeting at a junction. Conjunction is that joining point, or the fact of the joining.

可以想成：兩樣（或更多）本來各自獨立的東西，在同一個時間點或同一件事上接在一起——像兩條路在某個路口交會。conjunction 指的就是那個「接在一起」的狀態，或那個接點本身。
