'omega-3-connected' originates from the combination of 'omega-3', a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid, and 'connected', meaning linked or associated.

The term 'omega-3' was derived from the Greek letter 'omega' (ω) and the number '3', indicating the position of the first double bond in the fatty acid chain. 'Connected' comes from the Latin 'connectere', meaning to bind together.

Initially, 'omega-3' referred specifically to the chemical structure of the fatty acid, but over time it evolved to include health benefits associated with these acids.
