  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  plesiochronous 
 
    Nearly  synchronised,  a  term  describing  a 
  communication  system  where  transmitted  signals  have  the  same 
  nominal  digital  rate  but  are  synchronised  on  different  clocks. 
 
  According  to  {ITU-T}  {standards},  corresponding  signals  are 
  plesiochronous  if  their  significant  instants  occur  at 
  nominally  the  same  rate,  with  any  variation  in  rate  being 
  constrained  within  specified  limits.
