What annex means

A building or wing that is attached to or located near a main building and serves as an additional space for the same organization or purpose.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *annexer*, meaning to attach or bind to, derived from Latin *annexus*, the past participle of *annectere* (to bind to or connect). The Latin verb combines *ad-* (to) and *nectere* (to bind or tie). The word entered English in the 15th century, initially referring to attaching documents, later extending to territorial acquisition.
