Morphology
concord = cord (opaque) = con + cord
Although historically analyzable as con- + -cord ('together' + 'heart'), '-cord' is not a productive standalone English morpheme and learners cannot reliably derive 'agreement' from the parts.
Etymology
Concord comes from the Latin parts con- 'with' and cor 'heart', so it literally means 'hearts together' and gives a clear image of people in agreement. That's why concord means harmony or peaceful agreement between people or groups.
