[Meaning] suitable. "It was a season of storm, and [he] heated up the fire seasonable for the season."¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Σύγκαιρον· ἐπιτήδειον. χειμῶνος ὥρα ἦν, καὶ τὸ πῦρ ἐξέκαυσε τῇ ὥρᾳ σύγκαιρον.

*su/gkairon: e)pith/deion. xeimw=nos w(/ra h)=n, kai\ to\ pu=r e)ce/kause th=| w(/ra| su/gkairon.

The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is neuter accusative singular of this very rare adjective.
1Aelian fr. 84c Domingo-Forasté (81 Hercher). (LSJ s.v. su/gkairos wrongly says unattributed.) The tautology in the Greek is reflected here in translation. ↩
