Etymology: "Synthetizes" is the third-person singular form of "synthetize," a spelling variant of "synthesize." The verb comes from "synthesis," which traces back through Late Latin to Greek "synthesis," literally a "putting together," built from "syn-" (together) and "tithenai" (to place). The -ize ending, in its many forms, is a suffix that turns nouns and adjectives into verbs meaning to make or cause something to be, so "synthesize" means to make something by putting parts together. The spelling with a "t" rather than a "s" follows the root "synthesis" more closely than the "-size" pattern does, and both forms are accepted in English. The verb's main sense of combining separate elements into a unified whole is the one that has carried it through chemistry, music, and ordinary speech.
