'abnormally-linked' originates from the word 'abnormal,' which comes from Latin, specifically the word 'abnormis,' where 'ab-' meant 'away from' and 'norma' meant 'rule or pattern.'

'abnormis' transformed into the English word 'abnormal,' and eventually became the modern English word 'abnormally-linked' by adding the suffix '-ly' and the word 'linked.'

Initially, 'abnormal' meant 'away from the norm,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage, with 'abnormally-linked' describing a connection that deviates from the norm.
