When you give the definition of a word, you define it, but what(if there is) is the word for giving a synonym of a word?

The term is to synonymize , but it is not a common expression. You can say to provide a synonym/synonyms:
- To analyze or provide the synonyms of (a word or taxon).
(American Heritage® Dictionary)
- (Linguistics) (tr) to analyse the synonyms of or provide with synonyms.
(Collins)

Synonymize was the very first word that came to my mind when reading the question, but it seemed too obvious to be true. Well I'll be damned... ;) – JJM Driessen Sep 13 '15 at 19:45
