Other forms: links; linked; linking
Before it was the universal word for traveling around the Internet, link was just a connection or a device that connects things, like the links in a chain.
Much of what humans do in their day-to-day life involves looking for links — or relationships between people and things. When there is a link, that means two things are connected — such as «the link between smoking and lung cancer.» Some people even create links, like butchers who make sausage links and website developers who hyperlink the sites you visit to ensure that you spend far too much time clicking around the Web.
