Root Explanation

Synonymize → It is formed from "syn-" (meaning together) and "onym" (from Greek "onoma", meaning name) and the suffix "-ize" (meaning to make or to cause to be). The word means to make or cause to be a name that is the same or similar to another name.

Memory Tip

Think of 'together' ('syn-') and 'name' ('onym') — synonymize means to make names that are similar.
