Synergy |ˈsinərjē| (also synergism |-ˌjizəm|)

word used to explain why one company purchased or merged with another company, when there is no rational justification for the move: AOL and Time-Warner combined will generate synergy (as opposed to profits).

I’ve been using that one for years — feel free to steal it.
