Root Explanation

Synchronicity → It is formed from "syn-" (meaning together) and "chronos" (meaning time). The word describes events that occur at the same time and are meaningfully related, suggesting a connection in timing.

Memory Tip

Think of events happening 'together' ('syn-') in 'time' ('chronos') — that's why synchronicity refers to meaningful coincidences occurring simultaneously.
