From Medieval Latin synōnymus, from Ancient Greek συνώνυμος (sunṓnumos). By surface analysis, synonym + -ous.
synonymous (not comparable)
The main sense of "synonymous" (#1) can be considered polysemous. Since synonymy is relative, linguists distinguish between absolute synonymy and partial synonymy, and many consider synonymy as a scale, meaning that some synonyms are more synonymous than others. For more information, see the Usage notes section of synonymy.
