Synonymous

/sɪˈnɒnɪməs/ adjective

Definition

Having the same or nearly the same meaning; so closely associated with something that they are considered equivalent. Often used to indicate that two things have become inseparably connected in meaning or association.

Etymology

From Greek 'synonymos,' combining 'syn-' (together, same) and 'onyma' (name). Originally used in grammar to describe words with the same meaning, it expanded to describe any things so closely associated they're considered equivalent.

Kelly Says

The word literally means 'same name' - so when we say someone's name has become synonymous with excellence, we're saying their name and excellence have become the same thing in people's minds!
