About CONCUR
CONCUR is a valid word in the official Scrabble dictionary (US), the UK Scrabble Dictionary and Words with Friends (ENABLE).
The origins of concur date back to the early 15th century. At this point, the Latin word concurrere meant “to run together, assemble hurriedly or clash, fight”. Eventually, the word came to mean “happen at the same time”.
More about CONCUR
The word is made up of two parts: con which means “together” and currere which means “to run”.
In the 1500s, the definition shifted slightly. In today’s English, concur is a simple word used to express agreement. In fact, “agree” and “concur” are practically interchangeable, except that concur sounds a bit fancier and uses different Scrabble tiles.
While this is the most common definition of concur, you can use the word for its original meaning, as well. Concur can be used to describe the act of coming together for a single, common goal. Or you can say “I concur” randomly and hope it fits the situation. You’ll either sound really smart or really stupid, depending on the conversation.
Examples of Concur in a Sentence:
- “I think we need tacos”. I concur.
- “’Concur’ is kind of a weird word.” I concur.
- The witness said you were “drunk as a skunk.” Do you concur with that statement?
