Etymology
The word comes from the adjective ταυτόχρονος, itself built from ταυτο- (a combining form of ταυτός, meaning "the same") and χρόνος (time). Adding the neuter plural ending -α turns the adjective into the adverb ταυτόχρονα, used to describe actions happening at the same moment. The word is a Modern Greek formation on ancient roots, not itself attested in classical texts.
