'contemporarily-connected' originates from the combination of 'contemporary' and 'connected', where 'contemporary' is derived from Latin 'contemporarius', meaning 'with time', and 'connected' from Latin 'connectere', meaning 'to bind together'.

'contemporarius' transformed into the English word 'contemporary', and 'connectere' became 'connect', eventually forming the modern English term 'contemporarily-connected'.

Initially, it meant 'linked in time', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'being linked or associated in a manner relevant to the present time'.
