Etymology
Acord entered Romanian from French accord, itself from Old French acorder, built on Latin ad- (toward) and cor, cordis (heart). The underlying image is of two hearts brought into line with each other. The musical sense of a chord grew out of the same idea of separate notes brought into harmony.
