Etymology
مُتَّصِل is the active participle of the Form VIII verb اتَّصَلَ (ittaṣala), built on the triliteral Semitic root و-ص-ل (w-ṣ-l), meaning to join, reach, or arrive. Form VIII adds a reflexive or reciprocal infix ت, so the verb shifts from plain 'to connect' toward 'to become connected' or 'to get in touch.' Arabic is a Semitic language, not Indo-European, so it has no Proto-Indo-European root.
