It would not be possible in Elasticsearch and it would be something that should be handled on the client. Synonyms do not work at the semantic level. The word "latest" has no special meaning and all that synonyms do is create additional tokens for the same position in a sentence. Your date field is probably (should be) a separate field from your your free text content. Synonyms work on the same field. You would probably need to pre-scan your queries and identify words that might influence additional filters.
