Grammatical connector (6)

I believe the answer is:

hyphen

(Other definitions for hyphen that I've seen before include "A horizontal word-joiner" , "A horizontal words-joiner" , "Dash breaking word" , "Stroke between syllables or words" , "Mark joining two words" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
