the.com/concord
The sound of agreement, a grape, and a city — all pretending to be unrelated.
means Harmony or agreement between people, groups, or nations — hearts and minds beating in the same time signature.
from From Latin concordia, built from com- ('together') and cor/cord- ('heart') — literally 'hearts together.' The same cord- root gives us 'cordial' and 'courage.' The grape (Concord) and the Massachusetts city were both named later, borrowing the word's peaceable sound to signal harmony — but they share only the name, not the ancestry.
