Synovin is a type of joint fluid that helps to lubricate joints and prevent friction. The word is spelled with the prefix "syn-" which means "together" and the root "ov-" which means "egg-shaped". The suffix "-in" indicates that it is a protein. In IPA phonetic transcription, synovin is spelled /sɪˈnɒvɪn/. It is important to spell the word correctly in medical context to avoid confusion and ensure accuracy in communication between healthcare professionals.
