Borrowed fromLate Latinsynchronus, fromAncient Greekσύγχρονος(súnkhronos,“contemporaneous”), fromσῠν-(sŭn-,“with, together”) +χρόνος(khrónos,“time”). Bysurface analysis,syn- +chron- +-ous =synchrony +-ous; however, all related words (e.g.,synchronic,synchrony,synchronicity,diachronous,diachronic,diachrony,diachronicity) were coined later, either asback-formations from, or otherwise by analogy with the surface analysis of,synchronous.
