How to spell synchronize
What it means: To cause things to happen at the same time.
In a sentence: Let's synchronize our claps and clap together!
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as syncronize or synchronise.
Same family: synchronization, synchronous, asynchronous, synchronized, synchronizer. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: Synchronize comes from the Greek roots syn- meaning “together” and chronos meaning “time,” literally “to happen at the same time.” It entered English in the 17th century as scientists and clockmakers tried to keep distant clocks showing exactly the same time.
