Etymology

The word 'synergy' originates from the Greek word 'synergos', which means 'working together'. The term began to enter the English language in the early 20th century, specifically in the field of biology, to describe the interaction of different elements of an organism. By the mid-20th century, the concept expanded into business jargon as organizations recognized the potential benefits of collaboration and teamwork. Today, 'synergy' is commonly used across various industries and disciplines to encapsulate the advantages of collective effort over individual actions.
