Etymology
The word synagogue comes from Greek parts syn- ('together') and agoge ('bringing' or 'assembly'), and the syn- is the same 'together' you see in synchronize, so the word originally meant a place for bringing people together. That's why a synagogue is a building where Jewish people gather to pray and learn.
