syncraticism

As defined, "A mix of theologies or ideologies", syncraticism appears to be a rare error for syncretism. Normally the related word syncratic would stand or fall with this one, but it may have an independent life as syn- + cratic as in "syncratic decision making".

The term may, conceivably, also have been derived by etymology-conscientious authors from the Ancient Greek adjective συγκρᾱτικός (sunkrātikós), meaning “forming a mixture”.^{[1].[2]→[3]} I think I see more than three book uses.  --Lambiam 14:49, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Interesting. That would make it an alternative form, then. DAVilla 08:29, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
