Etymology
From Middle English armonye, from Old French harmonie, armonie, from Latin harmonia, from Ancient Greek ἁρμονία (harmonía, “joint, union, agreement, concord of sounds”), either from or cognate with ἁρμόζω (harmózō, “to fit together”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂er- (“to join, fit, fix together”). First attested in 1602. Doublet of harmonia.
