'electronically' originates from 'electron,' which comes from the Greek word 'ēlektron,' meaning 'amber,' and 'connect' from Latin 'connectere,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'nectere' meant 'to bind.'

'electronically' evolved from the concept of 'electron' in the 19th century, while 'connect' transformed from the Latin 'connectere' to the modern English 'connect.'

Initially, 'electronically' referred to anything related to electrons, but now it broadly covers digital and electronic connections. 'Connect' has maintained its meaning of joining or linking.
