synchronically
In one moment
Synchronically means at a single point in time, without reference to historical development.
The term appears most often in linguistics, where synchronic analysis examines a language as it exists at one moment rather than how it evolved: Studied synchronically, the dialect shows consistent patterns.
The opposite is diachronically, which traces change over time.
