'departure' originates from Middle English, specifically the word 'departuren,' where 'depart' meant 'to leave' and '-ure' was a suffix indicating action or process. 'Connected' comes from Latin, specifically the word 'connectere,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'nectere' meant 'to bind.'

'departure' changed from the Old French word 'departir' and eventually became the modern English word 'departure.' 'Connected' evolved from the Latin 'connectere' through Old French 'connecter' to the modern English 'connected.'

Initially, 'departure' meant 'the act of leaving,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage. 'Connected' initially meant 'to bind together,' which has evolved to mean 'linked or associated.'
