a deal everyone agrees to and nobody fully keeps, named for harmony.

from From Latin 'cor,' the heart (also the root of 'cordial' and 'courage'), joined with 'ad-,' meaning 'to.' To bring into accord was literally to bring hearts together — Vulgar Latin 'accordare' meant to make hearts beat as one. It traveled through Old French 'acorder' before settling into English, still quietly carrying that buried heart.
