relation
1
to have a measurable relationship
To have a clear connection with something else, so that when one thing changes, the other usually changes too.
사용 패턴：
[A] correlate[s] with [B]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes use 'correlate' to mean 'cause'. However, if two things correlate, they only change together; we do NOT automatically know that one causes the other. Also, in scientific and technical writing, 'correlate with' is usually preferred over 'correlate to'.
유의어
