Word Origin & History

concord 
c.1300, from O.Fr. concorde, from L. concordia "agreement, union," from concors (gen. concordis) "of the same mind," lit. "hearts together," from com- "together" + cor "heart" (see heart). Concordance in Bible sense (1387) is from L. concordantiæ, originally a citation of parallel passages.
