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 uses the same Greek parts syn- ('together') and chron- ('time'), which helps explain the computing sense: a 'synchronized' method or block makes actions happen in order by letting only one piece run at a time, like a lock that keeps operations safe from each other.
