Synergy

Synergy is an interaction or cooperation giving rise to a whole that is greater than the simple sum of its parts (i.e., a non-linear addition of force, energy, or effect).[1] The term synergy comes from the Attic Greek word συνεργία synergia[2] from synergos, συνεργός, meaning "working together". Synergy is similar in concept to emergence.
