Root Explanation

Synchronous → It is formed from "syn-" (meaning together) and "chronos" (meaning time). The word describes events that occur at the same time or in harmony with each other.

Memory Tip

Think of events happening 'together' ('syn-') in 'time' ('chronos') — that's why synchronous means occurring at the same time.
