Etymology of ACORDING

The word "acording" appears to be a variant or misspelling of the word "according". The etymology of "according" can be traced back to Middle English, borrowed from Old French "acorder". In Old French, it was derived from the Latin word "accordāre", which meant "to bring into agreement" or "to be of one mind". The Latin term "accordāre" was a combination of the prefix "ad-" (meaning "to" or "towards") and "cor", meaning "heart". Thus, the original meaning of "according" referred to "bringing together hearts" or "being in harmony". Over time, the spelling evolved to what we know today as "according".
