síncronas

Síncronas is the feminine plural form used in Spanish and Portuguese to refer to things that are synchronized, meaning they share the same timing or are coordinated by a common clock or timing reference. The term derives from the Greek roots syn-, meaning together, and chronos, meaning time.

It is used across disciplines to describe events, devices, signals, or processes that occur at the same time or follow a common cadence, in contrast with asíncronas, which operate independently or with different timing.

In computing and technology, síncronas are entities that move according to a shared clock. Data transfer, messaging, or control signals may be described as síncronas when their timing is coordinated by a reference signal. In communications, synchronous interfaces or protocols rely on this timing coordination.

In linguistics and related fields, synchronic analysis describes the study of a language or system at a specific moment in time, without reference to historical change. In biology and medicine, synchronization refers to coordinated physiological activities, such as simultaneous contractions or aligned circadian rhythms.
