Found: on an ironically outdated safety poster in my office.
Definition: 'the contraction of a word by omitting one or more sound from the middle' (What? Oh, well, the secondary definition is in use in this case:) 'brief loss of consciousness'.
Also: SYNCOPAL (cool, two fours!), SYNCOPIC
Add an S and you get PYCNOSES as well as the plural. heh heh, PYCNOSES.
