同步

同步 (tóng bù) refers to the process of aligning or matching actions, events, or processes in time or sequence. It is often used to describe coordination between different elements, such as in technology, communication, or physical movements.

The character 同 (tóng) means 'same' or 'together,' while 步 (bù) means 'step' or 'pace.' Together, they convey the idea of moving in unison or at the same rate, emphasizing harmony and timing.
