Morphology
synchronistic = synchronous + synchronicity (semi-transparent) = synchron + istic
Morphologically related to the 'same time' base, but the specialized sense of 'meaningful coincidences' (often tied to the Jungian concept 'synchronicity') is not directly inferable from the parts for an average learner.
Etymology
Synchronistic comes from the parts syn- 'together' and chron- 'time', which you can see in the common word synchronize. So it describes things that happen 'at the same time'.
