Summary: The English prefixes *syn-* along with its variant *sym-*, derived from Greek, mean "together." You can remember *syn-* easily by thinking of [*syn*]onym, which is a word that goes "together" with another word because it has a similar meaning. You can remember *sym-* by thinking of [*sym*]phony, which is a group of instruments making sound "together."
