This seems somewhat apropos...

,----[ C-h v apropos-synonyms RET ]
| apropos-synonyms is a variable defined in `apropos.el'.
| Its value is 
| (("find" "open" "edit")
|  ("kill" "cut")
|  ("yank" "paste")
|  ("region" "selection"))
| 
| Documentation:
| List of synonyms known by apropos.
| Each element is a list of words where the first word is the standard Emacs
| term, and the rest of the words are alternative terms.
