Definitions

  1. (Judaism) the place of worship for a Jewish congregation

Word origin

Inherited from Middle English synagoge, from Old French synagoge, from Latin synagōga, from Ancient Greek σῠνᾰγωγή (sŭnăgōgḗ, “assembly, gathering”), from συνάγω (sunágō, “to gather together”), from σῠ́ν (sŭ́n, “with, together”) & ᾰ̓́γω (ắgō, “to lead”). By surface analysis, syn- + -agogue.
