The adjective is formed from the noun 'concord' with the productive adjectival suffix '-ant', yielding the clear meaning 'in agreement'.

Etymology

The word concordant comes from the Latin parts con- 'with' and cord 'heart', so it originally meant 'with one heart'. Think of accord, a word that means 'to agree', and you can see why concordant means 'in agreement' or 'harmonious'.
