What's the difference between harmonize and synchronize?

Harmonize


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To agree in action, adaptation, or effect on the mind; to agree in sense or purport; as, the parts of a mechanism harmonize.
  • (v. i.) To be in peace and friendship, as individuals, families, or public organizations.

  • (v. t.) To adjust in fit proportions; to cause to agree; to show the agreement of; to reconcile the apparent contradiction of.
  • (v. t.) To accompany with harmony; to provide with parts, as an air, or melody.

Synchronize


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To agree in time; to be simultaneous.

  • (v. t.) To cause to agree in time; as, to synchronize the movements of different machines; to synchronize clocks.
