concur
verb
Definition: 1. to agree or approve; 2. to work or act together cooperatively; 3. to happen at the same time--to coincide
Synonyms: agree, approve, assent, cooperate, coincide
Antonyms: disagree, diverge
Tips: Concur is a more sophisticated way of stating agreement, as in: "Do you concur? Yes, I concur (agree)." It originates from the Latin concurrere, "to meet, coincide." Concur can also mean "to happen together." Think of the verb occur--to happen--and the prefix con-, which means "together," and you have concur, which refers to multiple activities occurring together. The adjective form of concur, concurrent, means "happening at the same time or running parallel--simultaneous."
Usage Examples:
Yes, I would concur with that statement; I think you’re absolutely right. (agree)
The goal of improving education is an issue on which both parties concur. (agree)
