Etymology
'securely' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'securus,' where 'se-' meant 'without' and 'cura' meant 'care.' 'Connected' comes from Latin 'connectere,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'nectere' meant 'to bind.'
'securely' changed from the Old French word 'secur,' and 'connected' evolved from the Latin 'connectere' to the modern English 'connect.'
Initially, 'securely' meant 'without care or worry,' and 'connected' meant 'to bind together.' Over time, 'securely-connected' evolved to mean 'firmly or safely joined.'
