Borrowed from French syndic (“delegated representative; a chief magistrate of Geneva; a censor; critic (obsolete)”), from Late Latin syndicus (“syndic, representative of a corporation or town”), from Ancient Greek σύνδικος (súndikos, “advocate of a defendant”), from σῠν- (sŭn-, “together, with”) + δῐ́κη (dĭ́kē, “law, order”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *deyḱ- (“to point out”)) + -ος (-os).
