A synonym doesn't mean it's a direct equivalent in meaning. It's a word that has the same idea and presents itself in the same category. A square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn't always a square. English is such a diverse language, each word carries its own weight and meaning, even if they represent similar ideas. Boredom and Ennui present the same idea, but represent different usage. I'm BORED when I have nothing to do or something isn't fun. But I have ENNUI when I lack the motivation and mental capacity to change my boredom.
