Interesting but I must point out that the sense 'cor', 'cordis' can mean heart: mind, judgement and also a sense of to please!
Whereas the feeling part of the heart is also known as 'pectus' and that of courage 'animus'.
So as to which is of greatest value for the acceptance when considering With it's indication, the word Accord!
based on these combined aspects the words primary connotation in my view is the centrally pleasing agreement of mind and sentiment in concerning a thing.
****INSERTED****
It must be remember that words are influenced as well as giving influence (that the change in the meaning of the word communication for example)
So the below may also play it's part.
*********************
One must also remember the word Cord 'chorda' from string or gut which can be used to tie and bind things, but also gives a musical sense of tune and harmony.
This then adds a sense of linked harmonious agreement of thought and feeling to the Word Accord.
At least it does according to me.
ADDED Auntb93 Is also correct.
After all we are answering on the modern connotation of the word and not just the historiacal meaning of it.

As a native English speaker, I would say that the most important and common connotation of the word "accord" in modern English is "agreement" or "in unison."
The word is used a lot in diplomacy, where they speak of agreements reached at conferences as "accords."

agreement, harmony
From the "A Dictionary of English Etymology:"
Accord. Fr. accorder, to agree. Formed in analogy to the Lat. concordare, discordare, from concors, discors, and consequently from cor, the heart, and not chorda, the string of a musical instrument.
