What does NEXUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
formal
A connection or link between things, or the central point at which a group of connections meet.
A nexus can describe a single crucial connection between two ideas or events, or the whole network of links that ties several elements together, such as a city acting as a nexus of trade routes. The word comes from Latin, related to nectere, to bind, and keeps that sense of things being joined at a point rather than simply near one another. Formal writing favours nexus over plainer words like link or connection when the relationship being described is complex or central to an argument. It is used widely in academic, political and business writing.
