Morphology

accordant = accord (transparent) = accord + ant

Regular adjectival formation from 'accord' with '-ant' yields the meaning 'in agreement', which an intermediate learner can infer from the base.

Etymology

Accordant comes from accord, which comes from an old root meaning 'heart' and appears in the part cor, so it once meant having the 'same heart' or feeling. So, if something is accordant it is 'in agreement' or 'in harmony' with something else.
