Root Explanation

Synchronizer → It is formed from "syn-" (meaning together) and "chronos" (meaning time) and "-izer" (meaning one who makes or causes). The word "synchronizer" refers to something that causes events to occur at the same time or together in time.

Memory Tip

Think of things happening 'together' ('syn-') in 'time' ('chronos') — that's what a synchronizer does.
