Equivalent of “collocate” but for time rather than space
I'm looking for a word that can be a drop-in replacement for collocate, but referring to things existing or occurring at the same time as opposed to at same place.
I've considered cotemporate but it sounds made-up.
Example usage:
I will collocate the two meetings so that they start and finish at the same time
Solution 1:
Synchronize will work for you. It can be used transitively just like collocate.
synchronize (verb) trans. To cause to be, or represent as, synchronous; to assign the same date to; to bring together events, etc. belonging to the same time. (OED)
Requested example usage:
I will synchronize the two meetings so that they start and finish at the same time.
Solution 2:
Coexist (from Merriam-Webster):
to exist together or at the same time
Coincide
to occupy the same place in space or time
Example:
My meetings coincide with each other.
