Morphology
synchronism = synchrony (transparent) = synchron + ism
The noun denotes the state of being simultaneous and is a regular -ism nominalization of the synchron- root; learners who know 'synchrony' or 'synchronize' can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Synchronism comes from the Greek parts syn- 'together' and chron- 'time', the same root you see in synchronize. So synchronism means things happening 'at the same time', like clocks or dancers moving together.
