Sujungimo

Sujungimo is a Lithuanian noun in the genitive singular of sujungimas, meaning the act or result of joining; a junction or connection. It is formed from the verb sujungti “to join” with the suffix -imas, and the prefix su-. The genitive singular suffix -o marks possession or relation, so sujungimo translates roughly as “of the joining/connection.” The term is used across domains; in everyday language one might speak of sujungimo vieta—the place where two parts meet or are joined.

In technical contexts, sujungimo refers to specific connections or fittings: in electrical and telecommunications engineering, elektrikinis sujungimas or sujungimo taškas denotes a junction or connection point; in plumbing or construction, it refers to pipe or component joints and the accompanying fittings or seals. In computing networks, phrases include sujungimo protokolas and sujungimo taškas to describe linking points and interfaces. In linguistics or philosophy, it can denote the linkage between elements.

Etymologically, sujungimas derives from sujungti “to join” + -imas noun-forming suffix; the root jung- means “to bind” or “to connect.” The word is standard in formal and technical Lithuanian, and is commonly complemented by related terms such as sujungti (to join), sujungimas (the act or result of joining), and jungtis (a connector or junction).
