Morphology

synchronized = synchronize (transparent) = syn + chron + ize + ed

The word 'synchronized' is transparently derived from 'synchronize' by adding the suffix '-ed' to form the adjective.

Etymology

Synchronized comes from the Greek parts syn- ('together') and chron- ('time'), so it literally means 'together in time'. So, when things are synchronized they happen at the same moment or move in perfect time with each other.
