It comes from the Flemish. Syzygy is a common misspelling when the word is Anglicized -- the letter "y" replaces the letter äu (that's supposed to be a letter "u" with an umlaut; let's see if I coded it correctly).
Phil Collins immortalized syzygy in a song you might recognize: Sussudio,, a classic 80s tune. Although the pronunciation was mangled for the sake of pop culture, the rhythm and enthusiasm of the song really capture the meaning of this word...
