Root Explanation

Accordant is formed from "ad-" (meaning to) and "cordare" (meaning to agree or harmonize). The word describes a state of being in agreement or harmony with something.

Memory Tip

Think of 'agreeing' ('cordare') with someone or something — 'ad-' means to, so accordant means to be in agreement.
