Morphology
synchronous = synchrony (transparent) = syn + chron + ous
The adjective is a straightforward formation from 'syn-' (together) + 'chron' (time) + '-ous' yielding 'occurring at the same time'.
Etymology
Synchronous comes from Greek parts syn- meaning 'together' and chronos meaning 'time'. So when things are synchronous, they happen 'at the same time' or move 'together in time', which is why we use the word for events or motions that match each other exactly.
