Morphology
synchronicity = synchronic (transparent) = synchronic + ity
Standard nominalization from the adjective 'synchronic' by the productive suffix '-ity'; the noun denotes the state or quality of being synchronic.
Etymology
The word synchronicity, from syn- ('together') and chron- ('time'), was popularized by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung to mean a 'meaningful coincidence'. That's why the word now describes events that seem linked or important 'together in time' even when there is no clear cause.
