accordとは意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From Middle English accorden, acorden, borrowed from Old French acorder (compare modern French accord かつ accorder), from Vulgar Latin *accordō, accordāre (“to be heart to heart with”), formed from Latin ad + cor (“heart”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱḗr ~ *ḱr̥d-, and thus distantly related to English heart (via Proto-Germanic *hertô).
