usually created so that a user can avoid having to qualify another
user's table or view to access the table or view. Synonyms can be
created as PUBLIC or PRIVATE. A PUBLIC synonym can be used by any user
of the database; a PRIVATE synonym can be used only by the owner and any
users that have been granted privileges.

means “together” and “onym” is “name.” Synonyms — together naming the
same thing.
Vary Vocabulary
Imagine how boring language would be without synonyms! Synonyms make
reading, writing, and speaking more expressive. If every person, place,
or thing were known by one word only, life would be incredibly dull—or
dreary, tedious, lackluster, and bland! Try it yourself—mix up your word
choice when you talk or write! Good speakers and writers always vary
their vocabulary.
Why is synonymous in the language?
to emphasize the process and object. and sometimes use specific, can not be exchanged.
