Morphology

concurrency = concurrent (semi-transparent) = concur + ent + cy

The meaning is directly 'the state or quality of being concurrent', but the -ent to -ency pattern is not fully transparent for many learners.

Etymology

Concurrency comes from the Latin parts con- 'together' and currere 'to run', the same root as current. If people or ideas 'run together' they come to the same point, so concurrency can mean 'agreement'.
