أو علم المناسبات في القرآن

English translation:the science of the correlation (between the verses and/or surahs)
Explanation:
The Oxford Handbook of Qur'anic Studies defines it as "the science of the correlation" (between the verses and/or surahs).

I would also favor transliterating the term before providing a definition, as found in the same book:

ʿilm al-munāsabah

https://books.google.jo/books?id=kurkDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA317&lpg=P...

So, basically:

ʿilm al-munāsabah (the science of the correlation between the verses and/or sūrahs of the Qurʾān)

"The analysis of the textual relation in the Holy Quran is regarded as Al Munasaba. It is also called the organic unity of the Holy Quran. It is an intersection between tafseer-i-Quran and linguistics. Whether the Quran possesses such an integrity or not in regard of organic unity or thematic connectivity amongst its verses (ayah) and chapters (suras)?
The existence of unity within the Holy Scripture and chain of the Holy Quran is believed either in the form of
consecutive verses or in collective purpose which is to convey Islamic Preaching to all mankind. "

بالعربي نقول لشخص ذكر موضوع او تكلم بشيء ما
نقول له
ما المناسبة؟
اي ما المناسبة التي جعلتك تتكلم بهذا الموضوع
اي ما هو الربط بين هذا الموضوع وبين موضوعنا او مشكلتنا الحالية ؟
يعني ما هو ترتيب الاحداث التي اوصلتك إلى تقول هذا الامر الآن
وهو ليس اسباب النزول فذلك علم آخر
هذا العلم يبحث بالعلاقات اي المناسبات اي الارتباطات بين الاجزاء والايات والاحكام وغيرها ليخرج موضوعاً واحداً له هدف
فهنا بالامكان تعريفه بالوحدة الموضوعية

So they call it "Al Munasaba" knowledge and they meant : connection; relation
the connection, linkage of Quran parts and verses,
Reasons of arrangement of Quran parts and verses (Not occasion of revelation اسباب النزول )

You could use science instead of knowledge.

And sure you could use the plural form: Al Munasabat / Knowledge or science of Relations/Relationships/Linkages and Connections between parts and verses in Quran
