concur = con<together> + cur<run>
- con<together>: From Latin cum, meaning "with" or "together."
- cur<run>: From Latin currere, meaning "to run."
Etymology Origin:
The word concur originates from Latin concurrere, combining con- (together) and currere (to run). The literal sense of "running together" evolved metaphorically to mean "agreeing" (ideas "meeting" in harmony) or "happening simultaneously" (events "running" parallel). This reflects the logical progression from physical motion to abstract alignment.
