+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|con-|cor|t2=heart]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) The OLD adds that its meaning was influenced by a false derivation from [[chorda]] “string”.^(OLD 2012) De Vaan lists it under [[m|la|cor]], which he traces to [[itc-pro|*kord]] and [[ine-pro|*ḱērd|t=heart]], comparing [[grc|καρδία|tr=kardía|t=heart]] and [[lt|širdìs|t=heart]].^(de Vaan 2008) Cicero says that for some the heart itself seems to be the mind, whence the words ⟨excordēs⟩, ⟨vēcordēs⟩ and ⟨concordēs⟩.^(TLL)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan and Köbler date it from Naevius,^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) who speaks of the nine harmonious daughters of Jupiter, sisters.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is agreeing in feeling and opinion, like-minded, and of a group living in harmony.^(OLD 2012) As a noun it is a like-minded person, a comrade, as in Ennius.^(OLD 2012) Of abstract things it is harmonious: Cicero speaks of a moderate and harmonious state of the community and of a harmony of very different voices.^(OLD 2012) Of things it is jointly shared or showing concord: Virgil has horses that bear the bridle in harmony under the yoke.^(OLD 2012) Glosses explain it as of one consent, agreeing, consenting.^(TLL) Church Latin glosses it harmonious, of one mind.^(Stelten 1995)
