I hypothesize this chronological progression :

* Connection

* To connect

* Connected used as an adjective

* Connective applied to something that connects

* This unnecessary 'word' connectivity, meaning no more than being connected or the ability to be so


Having said that, I can quite easily believe that, if connection comes from French / Italian, there might have been an earlier form such as connective
