'frequently-connected' originates from the combination of 'frequent' and 'connect,' where 'frequent' comes from Latin 'frequentare,' meaning 'to visit often,' and 'connect' comes from Latin 'connectere,' meaning 'to bind together.'

'frequentare' transformed into the Old French 'frequenter,' and 'connectere' became 'connecter' in Old French, eventually forming the modern English word 'frequently-connected.'

Initially, 'frequent' meant 'to visit often,' and 'connect' meant 'to bind together.' Over time, 'frequently-connected' evolved to describe things that are often linked or associated.
