The art of making sure everything is talking except the two devices you actually need to sync.
means The state of being linked up — how well devices, networks, or people can reach and exchange with one another.
from Built from 'connect,' which traces back to Latin 'connectere' — 'com-' (together) plus 'nectere' (to bind or tie). The '-ivity' is the usual suffix machinery turning an action into an abstract quality, the same pattern you see in 'creativity' or 'productivity.' So at its root, connectivity is just 'together-tied-ness' dressed up in modern, network-era clothing.
