Morphology

concordance = concord (transparent) = concord + ance

The meaning is directly built from 'concord' plus the abstract noun suffix '-ance'.

Etymology

The word concordance comes from the Latin parts con- 'with' and cord 'heart', the same root as accord, so it originally meant 'hearts together' and today it means agreement or harmony.
