'fragilely-connected' originates from the English word 'fragile,' which comes from the Latin word 'fragilis,' meaning 'easily broken,' and 'connect,' from the Latin 'connectere,' meaning 'to bind together.'

'fragilis' transformed into the Old French word 'fragile,' and eventually became the modern English word 'fragile.' 'Connectere' transformed into the Old French 'connecter,' and eventually became the modern English word 'connect.'

Initially, 'fragile' meant 'easily broken,' and 'connect' meant 'to bind together.' The combined term 'fragilely-connected' retains the original meanings, emphasizing a weak or tenuous connection.
