jungtis

Jungtis is a Lithuanian noun meaning a connection, link, or junction between two or more elements. It is used in everyday language to describe how things are joined, such as the connection between parts in a device, the link between ideas, or the relationship between people. The word derives from the verb jungti, meaning to join, and shares cognates with related Baltic languages.

In technical contexts, jungtis denotes a junction or connection between components. In engineering and manufacturing, a mechanical jungtis can refer to a joint that holds parts together, such as a weld, fastener, or hinge. In electronics and computing, it can denote an electrical or data connection, for example a soldered joint or a data interface. In network terminology, jungtis can describe a connection point between systems or devices.

In anatomy, the term most commonly used is sąnarys for a joint; jungtis may be encountered in broader or metaphorical usage to describe a physical or functional linkage but is less typical in anatomical terminology.

Usage notes: The term is versatile and can be combined with modifiers to specify the kind of connection, for example mechanical jungtis, elektrinė jungtis, duomenų jungtis, ryšio jungtis, and so on. Overall, jungtis covers both concrete technical connections and more abstract notions of linkage or relation.
