hand-connected
Etymology
'manually-connected' originates from the combination of 'manual' and 'connect,' where 'manual' comes from Latin 'manualis,' meaning 'of the hand,' and 'connect' from Latin 'connectere,' meaning 'to bind together.'
'manual' changed from the Latin word 'manualis' and 'connect' from 'connectere,' eventually forming the modern English term 'manually-connected.'
Initially, 'manual' meant 'of the hand,' and 'connect' meant 'to bind together.' Over time, 'manually-connected' evolved to mean 'connected by hand or manual intervention.'
