'An uninflected word used to connect clauses or sentences, or to co-ordinate words in the same clause'. Conjunction is derived from the Latin 'coniunctus' Con- from cum-, 'with' and iungere, 'to join'. Iungere has as its Indogermanic root the word YEUG which is likewise observed in other common English words such as yoke, joust and jugular (so called for its joining together the shoulders and neck).
The most common conjunctions are 'and' and 'but' but others give variety and interest to lengthier passages.
