synchronous
adjEtymology
Borrowed from Late Latin synchronus, from Ancient Greek σύγχρονος (súnkhronos, “contemporaneous”), from σῠν- (sŭn-, “with, together”) + χρόνος (khrónos, “time”). By surface analysis, syn- + chron- + -ous = synchrony + -ous; however, all related words (e.g., synchronic, synchrony, synchronicity, diachronous, diachronic, diachrony, diachronicity) were coined later, either as back-formations from, or otherwise by analogy with the surface analysis of, synchronous.
- derived from σύγχρονος
- borrowed from synchronus
Definitions
At the same time, at the same frequency.
- There is a synchronous tie between the motors in each machine room to ensure that the span remains level during raising and lowering.
Interacting with other elements in series
Interacting with other elements in series; blocking; interacting with the same program or thread as other operations, thereby preventing those operations from resuming until the operation of interest is complete.
- Post is a “fire and forget” where the UI thread work is performed asynchronously; Send is synchronous in that the call blocks until the UI thread work has been performed.

Vish — recursive loop
A definitional loop anchored at synchronous. Each word in the ring is defined by the next; follow the chain far enough and it folds back on itself. Scroll to it and watch.
