About
The traditional character 連 combines the movement radical 辶 (a walking person) with the phonetic 車 (carriage). Simplified to 连, it writes the carriage as 车. The image of a carriage being pulled by a person suggests a linked procession, yielding the primary meaning 'to connect, join, or link'. It also functions as a preposition or conjunction meaning 'even' or 'including', and indicates a military company, all drawing on the notion of an unbroken sequence.
