synonym = syn + onym
The parts are Greek combining forms that are not standalone English words, so an average B1 learner cannot derive the meaning from English base words.

Synonym comes from two parts: syn- meaning 'together' and -onym meaning 'name', as in antonym and pseudonym. So a synonym is like a word that shares the same 'name' or meaning as another word.
