Etymology

The word 'synched' is a colloquial abbreviation of 'synchronized,' which has its roots in the Greek word 'sunkhronizō,' meaning 'to cause to occur at the same time.' The prefix 'syn-' means 'together,' and 'khronos' means 'time.' The term began to be adopted in English during the 19th century as technologies advanced, particularly in the fields of music and film, where timing became crucial for joint performances. In the digital age, the term became even more popular with the advent of technology that required devices to be synchronized. Nowadays, it is commonly used in contexts ranging from personal electronics to professional audio-visual productions.
