A placing together of two Words by Usage<\/p>\n
Syn-the-ton. Greek, , from (sun), together, and (tithenai), to place. Hence, (synthetos) means put together.<\/p>\n
It is used of this Figure because two words are by common usage joined by a conjunction for the sake of emphasis, as when we say time and tide, end and aim, rank and fortune.<\/p>\n
It differs from Synthesis (q.v. [Note: Which see.] ). And also from Hendiadys, where only one thing is meant, though two are used (see Hendiadys).<\/p>\n
Gen 18:27.-Dust and ashes.<\/p>\n
Psa 115:13.-Small and great.<\/p>\n
Act 7:22.-Moses was mighty in words and in deeds.<\/p>\n
There are many examples where certain words thus become linked together by usage: e.g., rich and poor, old and young, bread and wine, meat and drink, babes and sucklings, sins and iniquities, faith and works, God and man, thoughts and deeds, etc., etc.<\/p>\n
The opposite of this Figure is Hendiadys (q.v. [Note: Which see.] ), by which, though two words are used, only one thing is meant.<\/p>\n
Here, in Syntheton, much more is meant than is expressed and embraced by the conjunction of the two words.<\/p>\n
