concord

State of accord

Concord is agreement or harmony between people or groups.

Treaties establish concord between nations; families strive for domestic concord.

In grammar, concord refers to agreement between words—subject and verb, noun and pronoun.

In music, concord describes notes sounding together pleasantly, the opposite of discord.

The two sides finally reached concord after months of negotiation. (Capitalized Concord is a place name or grape variety.)
