synchronously
同期的に
解説 Definition
同じ時間に、または同時に発生あるいは動作すること。複数の事象が相互に調整されながら同じペースで進行する方法。
Synchronously means happening at the same time or in the same step. It is often used in technology, communication, and work processes when actions happen together in real time. In computing, it can also suggest that one task waits for another to finish before continuing.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず sync という形で覚えると定着しやすい語です。スマホやクラウドの「同期する」が synchronize、その動きが synchronous、さらに「同期的に」が synchronously。中心は chron-＝time の感覚で、「時間をそろえて進む」が核。会議を synchronously hold する、複数処理が run synchronously のように使われます。反対は asynchronously で、「同時」ではなく「ずれて進む」と対比すると混同しにくいです。
Start with `sync`, the common core in `synchronize`, `synchronous`, and `synchronously`. The middle idea is `chron` = time, so think of things moving at the same time. Remember it with contrasts like `run synchronously` versus `run asynchronously`.

synchronously の語源・成り立ち Etymology
synchronouslyはsynchronous+-ly。synchronousはギリシャ語syn-「共に」+chronos「時間」に由来し、「時間を一つにして」が核です。だから「同期的に」は、別々のものが同じ時に動く感覚。関連語はsynchronize、chronology。
"Synchronously" is formed from "synchronous" and the adverb ending "-ly." "Synchronous" comes from Greek parts: "syn-" meaning "together" and "chronos" meaning "time," also seen in words like "chronology" and "synchronize." The basic idea is of things happening in the same time frame, and the adverb keeps that sense of acting together in time.
