concordance

Word location guide

A concordance is an alphabetical index of the principal words in a text, showing every context in which each appears.

Biblical concordances have long helped scholars locate specific passages: I looked up "mercy" in the concordance.

In broader use, concordance means agreement or harmony between things: The concordance between their findings strengthened the theory.

The verb concord, rarely used, means to agree.
