Morphology

synergetic = synergy (transparent) = synergy + etic

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-etic' to the noun 'synergy'; the meaning 'relating to or promoting synergy' is directly deducible.

Etymology

The word synergetic comes from Greek parts syn- meaning 'together' and ergon meaning 'work', the same root you can see in energy. So, something synergetic is when people or parts 'work together' to make a stronger result than they could alone.
