"synchronous" meaning in All languages combined

See synchronous on Wiktionary

Adjective [English]

IPA: /ˈsɪŋkɹənəs/ Audio: en-us-synchronous.ogg [US] Forms: more synchronous [comparative], most synchronous [superlative]
Etymology: Borrowed from Late Latin synchronus, from Ancient Greek σύγχρονος (súnkhronos, “contemporaneous”), from σῠν- (sun-, “with, together”) + χρόνος (khrónos, “time”). By surface analysis, syn- + chron- + -ous = synchrony + -ous; however, all related words (e.g., synchronic, synchrony, synchronicity, diachronous, diachronic, diachrony, diachronicity) were coined later, either as back-formations from, or otherwise by analogy with the surface analysis of, synchronous.
