Morphology
concur = cur (opaque) = con + cur
Although composed of the Latin prefix 'con-' + root meaning 'run', the root is not a productive or standalone English word, so the meaning 'agree' is not transparently derivable for typical learners.
Etymology
Concur comes from Latin parts con- 'together' and currere 'to run', so it literally means 'to run together'. Think of two people whose ideas 'run together' — that image helps you remember concur means to agree.
