accord
Meeting of minds
Accord is agreement or harmony between parties.
Nations sign accords to formalize treaties.
If something happens of its own accord, it happens spontaneously, without outside force.
To accord is to grant or give: She was accorded the respect she deserved.
Something in accord with another thing matches or aligns with it.
