2. (figuratively) Something that links two more consequential things.
3. An enclosed walkway or passage that connects two buildings.
4. Someone who belongs to a marginalized subgroup, and can therefore described by a hyphenated term, such as "German-American", "female-academic", etc.

Because the original symbol "-" (technically the hyphen-minus) covered usages aside from hyphenation there have been additional subsequent symbols created for hyphenation needs. They include the "?" (hyphen), ? (non-breaking hyphen) and the non-visible soft hyphen.
