Etymology
'indirectly-connected' originates from the combination of 'indirectly' and 'connected'. 'Indirectly' comes from Latin 'indirectus', meaning 'not straight', and 'connected' from Latin 'connectere', meaning 'to bind together'.
'Indirectly' evolved from the Latin 'indirectus' through Old French 'indirect', while 'connected' evolved from Latin 'connectere' through Old French 'connecter'.
Initially, 'indirectly' meant 'not in a straight line', and 'connected' meant 'bound together'. Over time, 'indirectly-connected' came to mean 'having a connection through another means'.
