congruency

State of agreement

Congruency is the state of being congruent—matching, agreeing, or fitting together.

In geometry, congruency describes shapes that are identical in form and size.

More broadly, it refers to harmony or consistency between things: There's a congruency between what she says and what she does.

The word is interchangeable with congruence, though congruence is more common.
