What does ACCORD mean in Scrabble?
noun
A state of agreement or harmony between people, ideas or things; also a formal agreement between parties.
An accord can be as light as two people sharing the same view or as weighty as a peace treaty signed by governments. As a verb, to accord is to grant something to someone, as when a court accords a witness full protection. The word comes through Old French from a Latin phrase meaning "heart to heart", which still colours its sense of willing agreement. It lives on in the phrase "of one's own accord", meaning without being asked.
