how to say “link” in Hebrew

 

קִשּׁוּר, חֻלְיָה

 

 
When referring to the kind of link found on a webpage, the Hebrew word is קִשּׁוּר  listen and repeat (while many Israelis still use the foreign word, לִינְק  listen and repeat). This word wasn’t invented for the advent of the hyperlink; rather, it was in use beforehand in contexts such as the phrase:
 
מִלַּת קִשּׁוּר
conjunction (the part of speech) or literally, linking word 
 
Its root is ק.שׁ.ר (k.sh.r), which means tying together.
 
When speaking of the link in a chain, however, Hebrew uses the word חֻלְיָה  listen and repeat.
 
חוליה also refers to a small band of people or a cell, as in: 
 
נֶחְשְׂפָה חֻלְיָה שֶׁל חַמַאס.
A Hamas cell was exposed.
