Are you thinking of the word "thesaurus?" "The EncartaŽ Essential Thesaurus is a handy guide for choosing just the word you are looking for. 200,000 synonyms (words of similar meaning) and antonyms (words of opposite meaning) can be accessed from a quick-reference A-Z list of 20,000 entries. Its format means it can be easily slipped into a briefcase or college holdall. For words which have similar meanings, the EncartaŽ Essential Thesaurus provides Compare and Contrast panels to highlight the differences." http://www.bloomsbury.com/BookCatalog/ProductItem.asp?S=&sku=1454063&EmailMe= |

If there isn't a word, there should be. How about: syncrosynology? Remember you saw it here first. |

Are you thinking of Synonymous? Instead of saying A is a synonym of B you can say A is synonymous with B. The opposite of course would then be Antonymous |
