A Paradoxical Word
Oh my, this word's in a very odd state;
It has a peculiar and inexplicable trait:
It brings things together, from the very start,
But ends by slicing what's joined apart!

What is the paradoxical word?

Problem Solution
The first clue is the word "State". What state name combines bringing things together and tearing them apart? To bring things together is to CONNECT them; to slice them apart is to CUT them.

CONNECTICUT
