Also 8–9 sin-.
[mod.L. sinovia, synovia, also synophia, an invention, prob. arbitrarily formed, of Paracelsus (died 1541), applied by him to the nutritive fluid peculiar to the several parts of the body, and also to the gout (see quot. in b below), but limited by later physicians to the fluid of the joints.
In mod. dicts. it is derived from Gr. σύν syn-1 + ὠόν, L. ōvum egg, on account of the resemblance of synovia to the white of egg. This is without foundation, and conflicts with Paracelsus's description of synovia as reddish, dark red, grey, etc., according to the part.]
