Etymology

From Middle English accord, from Old French acort, from acorder (see verb below).

From Middle English accorden, acorden, borrowed from Old French acorder (compare modern French accord and accorder), from Vulgar Latin *accordāre, from Latin concordāre via prefix substitution (with Latin ad-), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱḗr ~ *ḱr̥d-, and thus distantly related to English heart (via Proto-Germanic *hertô).

Webster’s 1913

  1. noun Agreement or concurrence of opinion, will, or action; harmony of mind; consent; assent.
  2. noun Harmony of sounds; agreement in pitch and tone; concord; as, the accord of tones.
  3. verb To make to agree or correspond; to suit one thing to another; to adjust; --followed by to. [R.]
  4. verb To bring to an agreement, as persons; to reconcile; to settle, adjust, harmonize, or compose, as things; as, to accord suits or controversies.

Etymology [OE. acord, accord, OF. acort, acorde, F. accord, fr. OF. acorder, F. accorder. See Accord, v. t.]

Etymology [OE. acorden, accorden, OF. acorder, F. accorder, fr. LL. accordare; L. ad + cor, cordis, heart. Cf. Concord, Discord, and see Heart.]
