Etymology
'strongly-linked' originates from the combination of 'strongly,' an adverb meaning 'in a strong manner,' and 'linked,' the past participle of 'link,' meaning 'to connect or join.'
'Linked' evolved from the Old English word 'hlencan,' meaning 'to chain or bind,' and 'strongly' from the Old English 'stranglice,' meaning 'in a strong manner.'
Initially, 'linked' meant 'to chain or bind,' but over time it evolved to mean 'to connect or associate.'
