Synonym Chooser
Some common synonyms of unite are associate, combine, connect, join, link, and relate. While all these words mean "to bring or come together into some manner of union," unite implies somewhat greater loss of separate identity.
Although the words associate and unite have much in common, associate stresses the mere fact of frequent occurrence or existence together in space or in logical relation.
While the synonyms combine and unite are close in meaning, combine implies some merging or mingling with corresponding loss of identity of each unit.
In some situations, the words connect and unite are roughly equivalent. However, connect suggests a loose or external attachment with little or no loss of identity.
The words join and unite can be used in similar contexts, but join implies a bringing into contact or conjunction of any degree of closeness.
The meanings of link and unite largely overlap; however, link may imply strong connection or inseparability of elements still retaining identity.
The synonyms relate and unite are sometimes interchangeable, but relate suggests the existence of a real or presumed logical connection.
