Said to be from Mohegan-Pequot quinnitukqut (“at the long tidal river”), from *kwen- (“long”) + *-ehtekw (“tidal river”) + *-enk (locative). The spelling perhaps arose from association with connect. (Can this etymology be sourced? Particularly: “this derivation conflicts with the form "quinnitukqut"; also the orthographies don't match”)
