Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'great' simply intensifies 'synergy,' and 'synergy' already denotes combined efforts producing enhanced results, so the phrase means a very effective collaboration. This adjective + noun pattern is a straightforward, cross‑linguistically common construction that a B1 learner who knows both words can readily interpret.
Etymology
The phrase great synergy paints a simple picture: imagine people pushing a heavy cart together so it moves much more than when one person pushes. That's why synergy here means 'working much better together' and getting results better than each person alone.
