nexus
noun
Definition: 1. a connection between individuals or a link in a series; 2. a connected group; 3. a central focus
Synonyms: connection, relation, link, liaison, bond, tie
Antonyms: separation, divide
Tips: Nexus is derived from the Latin nectere, "to bind." Use nexus as a sophisticated way of describing a connection or relation. Since something central often connects outside things to each other, nexus has also come to denote a center of focus.
