Etymology

The word 'accord' originated from the Old French word 'acorder', which means 'to reconcile' or 'to be of one mind'. It entered the English language in the late 12th century, originally used in the context of music to refer to a harmonious combination of sounds. Over time, 'accord' evolved to encompass the idea of agreement or treaty, reflecting the concept of harmony and concord between parties. Today, 'accord' is commonly used in both diplomatic and musical contexts to signify unity and agreement.
