There are several synonyms for the word aponeurosis, including fascia, tendinous expansion, intermuscular septum, and epimysium. Fascia is the synonym used the most because it includes all types of connective tissue, not just aponeurosis. An intermuscular septum is a thin layer of connective tissue between muscular groups, while epimysium is the connective tissue covering that encloses each muscle fiber. These terms can be used interchangeably and synonymously to refer to the same connective tissue type, depending on the context.
