In the most simple terms, synchopation is placing note emphasis in a place where it might not otherwise be naturally.
Simple example is using a four beat measure with the emphasis on the one:
>> ONE - two - three - four - ONE - two - three - four
Synchopation would place it in a less obvious spot:
>> one - two - THREE - four - one - two - THREE - four
Granted there is more to synchopation but as a starting point, that's the idea. It applies to anything mentioned in the original post from 2018 where the examples are different but the commonality is that the emphasis is not in a natural place.
