A formal agreement between people or groups; also, harmony or being in agreement.
From Old French *acord* “agreement, harmony,” from *acorder* “to agree,” from Latin *accordare* “to make heart to heart,” from *ad-* “to” and *cor* “heart.”
An ‘accord’ is literally hearts coming together, which is a softer image than a contract with signatures. It reminds us that real agreements need emotional alignment, not just legal words.
