1
combine information into a whole
To bring together ideas or information from different places to make one clear, complete picture or explanation.
사용 패턴：
to synthesize [information/ideas] from [sources]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners often confuse "synthesize" with "summarize." A summary makes something shorter, while a synthesis combines ideas from different sources into a new, complete view. Another mistake is saying "synthesize to" instead of "synthesize from" when talking about sources; the natural pattern is "synthesize information from several sources."
유의어
integrate (Often used when combining information smoothly into a unified system or explanation.)
|
combine (More general and less formal; does not always imply creating a carefully structured whole.)
반의어
analyze (Focuses on breaking something complex into parts, the opposite of putting parts together into a whole.)

2
produce a chemical artificially
To make a substance in a lab or factory by using planned chemical reactions, instead of taking it from nature.
사용 패턴：
to synthesize [a substance/compound] in [a lab]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners may use "create" or "do" instead of the more precise technical verb, saying "do a chemical" instead of "synthesize a chemical." Another mistake is confusing this sense with the mental sense of combining ideas; in chemistry, the object is a substance, not information.
유의어
manufacture (Stresses industrial-scale production; not limited to chemicals but often used similarly in technical contexts.)
|
produce (Very general; does not specifically imply the use of chemical reactions.)
반의어
decompose (Means to break a substance down into simpler parts, the reverse of building it up through synthesis.)

3
generate sounds electronically
To make sounds, music, or speech with electronic machines or computer programs, not with natural voices or instruments alone.
사용 패턴：
to synthesize [sound/speech/music] using [equipment/software]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes confuse "synthesize" with "edit" or "mix" in audio contexts. "Synthesize" means to create the sound electronically, while "edit" or "mix" means to change or combine sounds that already exist.
유의어
generate (A broad technical term for producing signals or sound; does not specifically imply use of a synthesizer.)
|
simulate (Emphasizes making something that imitates another sound or voice, not just creating it electronically.)
반의어
record (Captures existing natural sound instead of creating new electronic sound from scratch.)

4
form biological molecules from components
To make important molecules like proteins or DNA from smaller parts, inside cells or in a lab.
사용 패턴：
to synthesize [proteins/DNA/molecules] in [cells/the lab]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners may confuse this biological sense with the more general chemical one; in biology, the objects are usually proteins, DNA, or other biomolecules. Another mistake is using the noun form instead of the verb, for example writing "the cell synthesis proteins" instead of "the cell synthesizes proteins."
유의어
biosynthesize (More specific; used mainly for synthesis carried out by living organisms or biological systems.)
|
build (Informal and general; sometimes used metaphorically in explanations but lacks technical precision.)
반의어
break down (Describes splitting complex biological molecules into simpler ones, the opposite of synthesizing them.)
