contact
Get in touch
When two things touch or make a connection, they contact.
Eye contact happens when people’s eyes meet.
Physical contact happens when their bodies touch.
If you’re in contact with someone, you are able to communicate with them.
All such people collectively can be called your contacts.
When you contact someone, you establish a channel of communication with them.
Contacts may also be short for contact lenses, which rest in direct contact with your eyeballs.
