Plural of concord; formal agreements, treaties, or instances of harmony and agreement between people or groups.
From Latin 'concordia' (agreement, peace) derived from 'con-' (together) and 'cor' (heart). The plural form emerged in Middle English when discussing multiple agreements or peaceful arrangements.
The word literally means 'together-hearted'—when people reach concord, they're said to share one heart. This beautiful etymology explains why harmony feels like such a fundamental human need across cultures.
