Usage notes
Being a word borrowed from English derived from Greek, the y in synthesis is pronounced /??, ?/ rather than expected /?/. To preserve consistency between pronunciation and spelling, some prefer to spell this word sunthesis. Nevertheless, synthesis is the more common spelling of the two. See pyramid/puramid, symbol/sumbol, system/sustem for similar examples.
