Acuerdo

/aˈkwɛr.do/ noun

Definition

Agreement or accord; a decision or resolution made in common.

Etymology

From Spanish, derived from Latin 'accordus' (harmonized), from 'ad-' (to) and 'cor' (heart). Spanish maintains the medieval Latin form better than English.

Kelly Says

'Acuerdo' is Spanish, not English—but it shows something beautiful about Romance languages: they all preserved the idea that agreement happens when hearts ('cor') align, which is why similar words appear in French, Italian, and Spanish.
