Cheers.

My shorter oed says that synchronic is rare, from 1833, so it is highly possible that Jung used and adapted the word to apply to his work. How exactly did he use it, do you know? Can you ask your student?

lol I love your example.

Thanks Metal56. I'm off to check the Jung link you provided.
