synergized
Worked together effectively
Synergized is the past tense of synergize, meaning to combine in a way that produces a greater effect than the sum of individual parts.
The word appears most often in business and marketing contexts: Our teams synergized to deliver the project ahead of schedule.
Corporate jargon has made the term feel hollow to many ears—a signal of buzzword-speak rather than genuine collaboration.
