syntheses

Fusions of parts

Syntheses is the plural of synthesis—the combining of separate elements into a unified whole.

In chemistry, synthesis creates compounds from simpler substances: The lab performed multiple syntheses of the target molecule.

In writing or philosophy, syntheses bring together disparate ideas into coherent arguments.

The word appears in technical and academic contexts where multiple instances of combination or creation are discussed.
