Harmony
Name suggesting accord
Harmony is the combination of different elements into a pleasing or orderly whole.
In music, harmony is the sounding of notes together to form chords, as distinct from melody: The choir sang in four-part harmony.
Extended uses preserve the sense of things working well together: They lived in harmony with nature, The colors are in harmony.
Harmony between people suggests agreement and peaceful relations: racial harmony, domestic harmony.
To harmonize is to bring into harmony or to sing accompanying notes.
