concord

noun

1. (countable, uncountable)A state of agreement; harmony; union.

   “Love-quarrels oft in pleaſing concord end, / Not wedlock-treachery endangering life.”

2. (countable, obsolete, uncountable)An agreement by stipulation; a compact; a covenant; a treaty or league.

3. (countable, uncountable)Agreement of words with one another, in gender, number, person, or case.
4. (countable, obsolete, uncountable)An agreement between the parties to a fine of land in reference to the manner in which it should pass, being an acknowledgment that the land in question belonged to the complainant. See fine.

   “The concord or agreement may be made of an estate and fee-simple, fee-tail, or life or for years; it may be also of divers remainders, and that to them that are no parties but strangers to the fine; it may be also single or double, with a render back again of some estate of the same land or some rent out of it; so a concord may have in it reservation of rent, a clause of distress or nomine poenae and a warranty.”

   “And in all these, and such like cases, as before, where the concord is not formal, the judges ought not to receive the fine nor suffer it to pass; but if they do, and the fine be finished, it cannot afterwards be avoided by writ of error, or otherwise, for these faults.”

   “This concord was the foundation or substance of the fine; being, in form and in fact, the grant or conveyance intended to be given, and was acknowledged either openly in court, or before one of the judges, or before two or more commissioners empowered by a special authority. With this acknowledgment, all the essential parts of the fine were completed.”

   “The foot of a fine was a copy of an agreement ( the final concord ) reached in a court of law, usually the Court of Common Pleas, following a dispute over land ownership.”

5. (countable, uncountable)An agreeable combination of tones simultaneously heard; a consonant chord; a consonance; a harmony.

   “If the true concord of well tuned ſounds, / By vnions married to offend thine eare, / They do but ſweetly chide thee, who confounds / In ſingleneſſe the parts that thou ſhould'ſt beare.”

6. A variety of sweet American grape, with large dark blue (almost black) grapes in compact clusters; a Concord grape.
