About sentence arrangement

Syntactic is the adjective form of syntax, which refers to the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language.

A syntactic rule governs how sentence parts can be combined; a syntactic error is a violation of such a rule.

The syntactic structure of the sentence was unusually complex.

In computing, syntactic applies similarly to the rules governing how code must be written for a program to run.
