A synonym is a word that means the same thing as another word. for example if you didn't want to use the word "sad" because it's too generic, you'd look up a synonym and use something like depressing, gloomy, miserable, or cheerless.

hope it helps :-D

Synonym has a couple different meanings, both generally the same..
1. a word meaning the same things as another
ex: Tear and Rip or environment and surroundings
2. an alternative name for somethings

If you break the word up "nym" means word while "syn" I believe means similar

Synonyms (in ancient Greek syn 'συν' = plus and onoma 'όνομα' = name) are different words with similar or identical meanings and are interchangeable. Antonyms are words with opposite or nearly opposite meanings. (Synonym and antonym are antonyms.)

An example of synonyms are the words cat and feline. Each describes any member of the family Felidae. Similarly, if we talk about a long time or an extended time, long and extended become synonyms.
