Adjective form of the word "Synergy"
What's the adjective form of the word "synergy"?
Is it ....
1. Synergic
2. Synergetic
3. Synergistic

I think, 'Synergic' ought to be the right one for common use. However, when I looked it up in the dictionary, I found that all these three words exist. Can you please suggest, which one means what? Do I need different contexts to use these three words?
Better still, if you can just write 3 simple sentences to show how to use each of them. That will be enough.
Thanks in advance.

Answer

I think contexts of using these words are the same - "acting together". Though I would use "synergetic" by analogy with "energy" > "energetic".
