Origin

  1. Germansyndyastisch
  2. Ancient Greekσυνδιαστικός
  3. Englishsyndyastic

From Ancient Greek συνδιαστικός (sundiastikós, literally “connecting two”), a hapax coined in the Ethics of Aristotle, introduced by Kurt Klaus Loewit and Klaus Michael Beier who in Berlin 2004 wrote a coursebook about Sexual Medicine in Clinical Practice inventing syndyastic sexual therapy, which makes it naturally a calque of German syndyastisch now chiefly encountered in Berolinese sources.
