Etymology
Accordance used for giving rights comes from accord, which is built from ad- 'to' and cor 'heart', so it once meant 'bringing hearts together'. From that older idea, to accord someone something came to mean 'to give' or 'grant', so accordance can mean the act of granting rights or privileges.
