## AI Etymology
Concordance comes from Old French concordance, from Medieval Latin concordantia, from Latin concordans, present participle of concordare ('to agree'), from concors ('of one mind'), from com- ('together') + cor ('heart'). The historical trail runs through concordare in Latin and cor in Latin. Morphologically, concordance is transparent: it draws on Old French concordance, from Medieval Latin concordantia, from Latin concordans, present participle of concordare ('to agree'), from concors ('of one mind'), from com- ('together') + cor ('heart'). Used as a noun, concordance now means "agreement; also an alphabetical index of a text's words", so the present definition can be read against the older forms and meanings. The same lexical family is also visible in related forms such as concord, concordant, and accord. The result is a borrowed or transmitted form whose modern spelling carries a compact record of its route into English.
