To tune or adjust something together, or to bring into harmony with something else.
From Latin 'con-' (together) and 'tunus' (tone), influenced by English 'tune.' This is a rare word that appears in early modern English texts regarding musical harmony and metaphorical adjustment.
Contune is almost obsolete, but when it was used, it captured something specific: the idea of coordinating multiple things into one harmonious whole. Medieval musicians might have used it to describe how instruments in an ensemble 'contune' together.
