synthesis has 3 distinct synonyms spread across 2 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. Its one recorded opposite is analysis.
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 process of producing a chemical compound (usually by the union of simpler chemical compounds)
the combination of ideas into a complex whole
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for synthesis come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
