Definition

Adjective: * Not occurring together; not simultaneous or coordinated in time: Describes two or more events, actions, or processes that do not happen at the same moment or are not aligned in their timing or rhythm.

Usage

The adjective "unsynchronised" is used to describe a lack of coordination in timing. It often applies to technical, mechanical, or procedural contexts where simultaneous action is expected but does not occur. * It typically modifies nouns like clocks, movements, actions, processes, data, audio, or flashes. * It is the opposite of "synchronised."

Examples
  • The unsynchronised traffic lights caused major congestion at the intersection.
  • Due to a technical error, the audio and video streams were completely unsynchronised.
  • Their swimming strokes were unsynchronised, making the team less efficient.
  • The dancers started their routine in an unsynchronised manner, which was noticeable to the judges.
Advanced Usage
  • "To fall unsynchronised": To become out of sync or coordination over time.
    • The two metronomes gradually fell unsynchronised.
  • In computing and data transmission, "unsynchronised" can describe a mode where operations do not wait for a timing signal.
    • The device operates in an unsynchronised mode for faster data transfer.
Variants and Related Words
  • Unsynchronized (adj): The preferred spelling in American English. It has the same meaning.
  • Out of sync (phrase): A common informal phrase meaning not synchronised.
  • Asynchronous (adj): Often used in technical contexts (e.g., computing, communication) to describe processes that do not occur at predetermined regular intervals or are not coordinated by a clock signal. While related, "asynchronous" is a more specific technical term, whereas "unsynchronised" is a more general description of state.
