The term synthesis is from the 1610s, "deductive reasoning," from Latin synthesis "collection, set, suit of clothes, composition (of a medication)," from Greek synthesis "composition, a putting together," from syntithenai "put together, combine," from syn- "together" (see syn-) + tithenai "to put, to place," from reduplicated form of PIE root *dhe- "to set, put."

Synthesis is the creative act of extracting meaningful patterns from masses of raw information. Turning data and facts into a narrative is the pure power of synthesis. The next step after developing the narrative is to engage in higher level synthesis. The higher level of synthesis is where the design of organization begins.
