The term '''synthesis''' (from the ancient Greek ''σύνθεσις'' ''σύν'' "with" and ''θέσις'' "placing") is used in many fields, usually to mean a process which combines together two or more pre-existing elements resulting in the formation of something new. The verb would be to ''synthesize'' meaning to make or form a synthesis.
'''Synthesis''' may refer to:
*[[Philosophy]], the end result of a dialectic as in [[thesis, antithesis, synthesis]]
*[[Sound synthesis]], various methods of sound generation in audio electronics
: e.g.:
:*[[subtractive synthesis]]
:*[[frequency modulation synthesis]]
*[[Photosynthesis]], the process of making new chemicals bonds utilizing light energy.
*[[Dehydration synthesis]]
*[[Chemical synthesis]], the execution of chemical reactions to form a more complex molecule from chemical precursors
:*[[Organic synthesis]], the synthesis of organic compounds
:*[[Peptide synthesis]], a special case
:*[[Total synthesis]], the complete chemical synthesis of complex organic compounds, usually without the aid of biological processes
:*[[Biosynthesis]], that occurs in living organisms
*A cognitive skill in Benjamin Bloom's [[Taxonomy of Educational Objectives#Cognitive|Taxonomy of Educational Objectives]].
*In [[electronic design automation]], [[logic synthesis]], the process of converting a high-level design into a low-level implementation.
*In philosophy and science, a higher [[A priori and a posteriori (philosophy)|a priori]] process than [[analysis]]
*[[Synthesis (magazine)|''Synthesis'' (magazine)]], a web site and magazine covering popular culture
*[[Synthesis (journal)]], a journal of [[chemical synthesis]].

*[[Analysis]] - the converse of synthesis
