veza

Veza is a feminine noun used in Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian to signify a connection, link, or bond between objects, people, or concepts. It can denote physical connections (a cable, rope), social or formal affiliations (a link between organizations), or abstract relations (causal or logical connections). In computing and communications, veza refers to a connection between components or networks. In transportation and logistics, it denotes a connecting service or transfer in a journey, such as a connecting flight or train, though the exact term in travel schedules may vary by region.

Etymology traces veza to the Proto-Slavic root related to binding or tying; cognates appear across South Slavic languages. The related verb vezati means to bind or fasten, and the noun vez can denote a bond or tie in broader sense. In idioms, phrases such as u vezi s nečim express “in connection with something,” or statements about the strength of a veza reflect relational emphasis in discourse. Veza thus functions as a versatile term spanning everyday speech, technical discourse, and literature.
