The Senses Coming Together

Synesthesia sometimes known as the "senses coming together," which is just a translation of the Greek (etymology: syn - together, esthesia from aesthesis - sensation).
 
At its simplest level, synesthesia means that when a certain sense or part of a sense is activated, another unrelated sense or part of a sense is activated in tandem.
 
People that have synesthesia are called synesthetes.
