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.
