Morphology
unsynchronized = synchronized (transparent) = un + synchronize
The meaning is the straightforward negation of 'synchronized' by the productive prefix 'un-', which a B1 learner can apply predictably.
Etymology
Unsynchronized is made of un- 'not' and synchronized, which comes from parts meaning 'together' and 'time', so think of clocks that are set to the same time. Unsynchronized therefore means things that do not happen or move at the same time.
