What is the best definition for this combination of word parts syn and onym?

The combination of "syn" and "onym" creates the word synonym.

Here's the breakdown:

* syn- means "together" or "with"

* -onym means "name"

Therefore, synonym literally means "with the same name" and refers to a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word.
