Root Explanation

Synchronization → It is formed from "syn-" (meaning together) and "chronos" (meaning time). The word describes the process of occurring at the same time or coordinating events together in time.

Memory Tip

Think of events happening 'together' ('syn-') in 'time' ('chronos') — that's what synchronization means.
