Etymology
The word asynchrony comes from the parts a- meaning 'not' and synchrony meaning 'same time', and you can see the same root in synchronize ('to make things happen together'). So asynchrony means things are 'not' happening at the same time, which is why it describes a lack of coordination or timing.
