analytic has 2 distinct synonyms spread across 3 of its 4 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. Its one recorded opposite is synthetic.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
using or skilled in using analysis (i.e., separating a whole--intellectual or substantial--into its elemental parts or basic principles)

expressing a grammatical category by using two or more words rather than inflection
of a proposition that is necessarily true independent of fact or experience
