Wilson tr. St. Clement of Alexandria Writings II. 508 Of Causes, some are Procatarctic and some Synectic [Gk. συνεκτικά], some Co-operating, some Causes sine quâ non. 1869 W. Wilson tr. St. Clement of Alexandria Writings II. 514 But a Synectic cause is that, which being present, the effect remains, and being removed, the effect is removed. 1890 Cent. Dict. at Cause The physicians, following Galen, recognized three kinds of causes, the procatarctic, proëgumenal, and synectic... The synectic, containing, or continent cause is the essence of the disease itself considered as the cause of the symptoms. 1930 Jrnl. Relig. 4 533 His [sc. Clement's] causes are the procatarctic, synectic, the co-operating and the causa sine qua non. 2003 R. J. Hankinson in J. Barnes et al. Galien et la Philosophie ii. 51 In fact, it seems that when Galen refers to the three factors being synectic causes of the condition of the pulse, he means that they are so taken together. 2. Mathematics. = analytic adj. 2b. Now chiefly historical.Chiefly with reference to A. L. Cauchy (1789–1857), French mathematician.

Rev. 27 Aug. 273/1 Synectic, it must be said, is a mathematical term, first used by Cauchy in his Theory of Functions.] 1876 Proc. London Math. Soc. 8 23 Perhaps we may regard as the fundamental theorem in the whole subject the proposition of Cauchy, that every differential equation admits (in the vicinity of any non-singular point) of an integral which is synectic within a certain circle of convergence. 1888 B. Williamson in Encycl. Brit. XXIV. 72/1 A function of a complex variable which is continuous, one-valued, and has a derived function when the variable moves in a certain region of the plane is called by Cauchy synectic in this region. 1900 Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 1 505 A function f(z) existing as a single valued function of z on a continuum is synectic if for every such z it is continuous and has a derivative in each axial direction, these axial derivatives being equal, and this common derivative-value being itself a continuous function on the continuum. 1919 F. Cajori Hist. Math. (ed. 2) 428 According to A. L. Cauchy a function is analytic (his ‘synectic’) if it possesses a single-valued differential coefficient. 1969 Amer. Math. Monthly 76 1043 Cauchy proved that there exists a solution of the initial value problem if f and fv are continuous, or if f is synectic (continuous, monodrome, and monogenic). 2004 Math. Mag. 77 128 Study referred to analytic functions of a dual variable (p = 0) as synectic functions.
