synonymous
Same in meaning
Synonymous means having the same or nearly the same meaning as another word: "Happy" and "glad" are roughly synonymous.
More broadly, it describes things so closely associated that one suggests the other: His name became synonymous with scandal.
The association implies interchangeability—if two things are synonymous, mentioning one effectively invokes the other.
