Root Explanation
Syndetically → It is formed from "syn-" (meaning together) and "dein" (from Greek "dein" meaning to bind). The word "syndetically" refers to the manner of binding or connecting elements together in a cohesive way.
Memory Tip
Think of elements being 'bound together' ('dein') in a 'together' manner ('syn-') — that's what syndetically means.
