Hub

Answer:

NEXUS

Hint:

Think of a central point where multiple connections or pathways intersect, often used in technology or networks.

Explanation:

"Hub" is a straightforward definition clue pointing to a central or connecting point. The answer "NEXUS" fits perfectly because it means a central link or connection, often used in tech or networking contexts. There’s no hidden wordplay here—just a direct synonym where "nexus" elevates the idea of a hub to something more structured or formal. Think of it like the core of a wheel where everything meets.
