Etymology
'vaguely-connected' originates from the combination of 'vague' and 'connect,' where 'vague' comes from Latin 'vagus' meaning 'wandering' and 'connect' from Latin 'connectere' meaning 'to bind together.'
'vague' changed from the Latin word 'vagus' and 'connect' from 'connectere,' eventually forming the modern English term 'vaguely-connected.'
Initially, 'vague' meant 'wandering' and 'connect' meant 'to bind together,' evolving into the current meaning of 'having a loose or unclear relationship.'
