'permanently' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'permanens,' where 'per-' meant 'through' and 'manere' meant 'to remain.' 'Connected' comes from Latin 'connectere,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'nectere' meant 'to bind.'

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

Initially, 'permanently' meant 'remaining through time,' and 'connected' meant 'bound together.' Over time, they evolved to describe a state of continuous linkage.
