group for joint business activity
A group of people or companies that work together on one business project or investment and share the money and risk.
תבנית שימוש:
a syndicate of [people/companies]

organized group for crime
A big, organized group of criminals who work together like a business.

מילים נרדפות
crime ring (More informal; often suggests a smaller or more local group of criminals.)
|
criminal organization (Broad, neutral term; does not specifically highlight the business-like structure.)
הפכים
law enforcement agency (Opposite role: an organized group that fights crime rather than commits it.)
|

מילים נרדפות
news agency (Often focuses on gathering news; may or may not sell other types of content like columns or comics.)
|

טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes think "syndicate" only means to repeat a show on the same channel. In fact, it means to sell or send the same content to many different outlets.
מילים נרדפות
distribute (More general; does not always imply that the same content is sold to many independent outlets.)
|
license (Focuses on legal permission; does not by itself imply multiple outlets or regular distribution.)

pool (General term for combining resources; in finance it can overlap, but does not always imply a formal syndicate structure.)
|
