Etymology

The word traces back to Latin simul (meaning "together") combined with taneus (a variant of tempus, meaning "time"). The suffix -ous forms an adjective, and -ly converts it into an adverb. The core idea is "occurring at the same time," reflecting its Latin roots in coordination and temporal alignment. Over time, it evolved into English with a focus on synchronicity.
