The word for today is…

nexus (noun) -

1: connection, link, also : a causal link
2: a connected group or series
3: center, focus

Source : Merriam-Webster

Etymology : When nexus came into English in the 17th century, it meant “connection” or “link.” Eventually, people began using it to refer to a connected group or series of things, as in “a nexus of relationships.” In recent decades it has taken on a third meaning: “center” or “hub,” perhaps from the notion that a point in the center of an arrangement serves to join together the objects that surround it.
