Morphology

synchronal = synchronous + synchrony (transparent) = synchron + al

Formed by adding the productive adjective suffix '-al' to the synchron- stem, producing an adjective meaning 'occurring at the same time', which aligns with learners' expectations.

Etymology

Synchronal comes from Greek parts syn- 'together' and chron- 'time', and you can also see the same root in synchronize. So something synchronal happens 'at the same time' as something else.
