ADJUNCTION
Attachment or affixing to another. Something attached as a dependent or auxiliary part.
Under the civil law system which prevails in much of Europe and Latin America, adjunction is the permanent union of a thing belonging to one person to something that belongs to someone else.
A branch agency, for example, is an adjunct of the main department or administrative agency.
