synchronisation has 7 distinct synonyms spread across 3 of its 3 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. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
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.
the relation that exists when things occur at the same time
“the drug produces an increased synchrony of the brain waves”
an adjustment that causes something to occur or recur in unison
coordinating by causing to indicate the same time
“the synchronization of their watches was an important preliminary”
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for synchronisation come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
