Definition:

  • (n.) Capacity for performing work.

Synergy


Definition:

  • (n.) Combined action
  • (n.) the combined healthy action of every organ of a particular system; as, the digestive synergy.
  • (n.) An effect of the interaction of the actions of two agents such that the result of the combined action is greater than expected as a simple additive combination of the two agents acting separately. Also synergism.
