Accordancy

/əˈkɔrdənsi/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being in accord; agreement or harmony.

Etymology

From accord plus -ancy (a variant suffix of -ance that forms nouns from adjectives and verbs). This word emphasizes the continuous state of being in agreement rather than a single instance.

Kelly Says

This is basically a synonym for 'harmony' but with an almost poetic formality—you might see it in older literature or philosophy texts describing how different ideas fit together like puzzle pieces.
