## AI Etymology
Concurrently comes from concurrent + -ly. Concurrent derives from Latin concurrens, present participle of concurrere ('to run together'), from com- ('together') + currere ('to run'). The historical trail runs through concurrere in Latin and currere in Latin. Morphologically, concurrently is transparent: it draws on concurrent + -ly. Used as an adverb, concurrently now means "at the same time; simultaneously", 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 concurrent, concur, and concurrency. The result is a borrowed or transmitted form whose modern spelling carries a compact record of its route into English.
