A subset $A$ is connected if its subspace topology admits no separation into two disjoint nonempty relatively open subsets. Equivalently, every continuous map $A\to \{0,1\}$, with the target discrete, is constant: a nonconstant map gives the separation by its two fibers, and a separation defines such a map.
