different between connection vs friendship
connection

Alternative forms
- connexion (UK, dated), connex. (abbreviation)

From Middle English conneccioun, connexioun, conneccyon, conneccion, from Latin connexionem (nominative connexio (“a conclusion, binding together”)), from connect?, an alternative spelling of c?nect? (“I bind together”), from compound of co- (“together”) and nect? (“I bind”)
In American English mid-18c., spelling shifted from connexion to connection (equivalent to connect +? -ion), thus making connexion British dated and connection in international use.
