Definition
合成 (hé chéng) means to combine parts into a new whole, often in chemistry or technical contexts ('synthesize, compound'). Unlike 组成/构成 (general 'make up, constitute'), 合成 emphasizes creating something new by combining; unlike 综合 (integrate/summarize), it's about physical or chemical combination rather than abstract integration. 融合 (róng hé) is about blending different elements into a harmonious whole, while 合成 is more about forming a compound or composite.
