A group of people or companies that work together on one business project or investment and share the money and risk.

|
partnership (More general; does not always imply multiple separate companies joining together for one project.)

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

유의어
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.)
반의어
law enforcement agency (Opposite role: an organized group that fights crime rather than commits it.)
|
legitimate business (Highlights that a syndicate in this sense makes money illegally, unlike a legal business.)

|
distributor (Very general term; not limited to media content or to selling to multiple outlets.)

자주 하는 실수：
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.
유의어
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.)

arrange shared financial deal
To set up a loan or deal so that many banks or investors take part and share the money and risk.
사용 패턴：

Learners may confuse this with simply "sharing profits". In this technical sense, to syndicate is about structuring one specific loan or financial deal so that several institutions share the same risk and exposure.
유의어
pool (General term for combining resources; in finance it can overlap, but does not always imply a formal syndicate structure.)
|
underwrite jointly (Technical phrase; stresses guaranteeing the deal together, not the organizational form.)
