Morphology
concord = cord (opaque) = con + cord
Though historically con- + -cord underlies the verb sense, the components are not productive or transparent for most learners, so the meaning 'to agree' cannot be reliably derived.
Etymology
As a verb, concord also comes from Latin con- 'with' and cor 'heart', originally meaning 'to be of one heart' and now used to mean to agree or fit together. That's why to concord is to be in agreement or harmony with something else.
