Root Explanation

Concert → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "certare" (meaning to fight or contend). The word originally referred to people coming together to contend or compete in harmony, which evolved into the modern meaning of a musical performance by a group.

Memory Tip

Think of people coming 'together' ('con-') to 'contend' ('certare') in harmony — that's why a concert is a performance where musicians unite.
