dangerous connection
Etymology
'riskily-connected' originates from the English word 'risk,' which comes from the Italian word 'risco,' meaning 'danger.' The suffix '-ly' is used to form adverbs, and 'connected' is derived from the Latin 'connectere,' meaning 'to bind together.'
'risk' evolved from the Italian 'risco' to the modern English 'risk,' while 'connectere' transformed into the English 'connect.'
Initially, 'risk' meant 'danger,' and 'connect' meant 'to bind together.' The combination 'riskily-connected' implies a dangerous or uncertain connection.
