The word has been taught to generations of English-language students and is commonly known by the general public.

There is even a saying, going back to 1892, 'Once a synonym, always a synonym'. As weve already mentioned before, synonyms are the opposite of antonyms, because synonyms are words with the same meaning. The meaning of the word has remained unchanged for all these centuries. The term is derived from Latin from the Greek word sunōnumon, neuter form (used as a noun) of the adjective sunōnumos, from sun- meaning 'with' + onoma meaning 'name' in the Greek language. Synonyms for MEANING: content, denotation, drift, import, intent, intention, purport, sense Antonyms for MEANING: Meaning: the idea that is conveyed or intended to be conveyed to the mind by language, symbol, or action. The word 'synonym' dates back over 500 years, to late Middle English. The meaning of SYNONYM is one of two or more words or expressions of the same language that have the same or nearly the same meaning in some or all senses. Some words are near-synonyms, which have similar but not exactly the same meaning. One can find sets of synonyms in a thesaurus, which is a book listing groups of related words. SYN Attack: A SYN attack is a type of denial-of-service (DoS) attack in which an attacker utilizes the communication protocol of the Internet, TCP/IP, to bombard a target system with SYN requests in an attempt to overwhelm connection queues and force a system to become unresponsive to legitimate requests. That means, only a noun can be a synonym of another noun, only a verb can be a synonym of another verb, and so on.

Synonyms can be nouns, verbs, adverbs or adjectives, but both words must be of the same part of speech. A synonym is a word (or a phrase) which means the same thing as another word or phrase. Synonyms for DEFINITION: meaning, description, analogue, elucidation, gloss, clue, explication, representation Antonyms for DEFINITION: nonsense, error, confusion.
