harmony

Harmony means being in accord with, being in balance with itself and its environment.

It applies to many contexts; a work of art, a structure and particularly to sound – music, chords and their relationship with each other and the pleasing sound as it reached the ear.

Its history stretches back in time to its Indo-European language roots (ar-) into harmos meaning ‘joint’, through the Greek harmonia meaning ‘articulation’ and ‘agreement’, to the Latin harmonia and finally through Old French into Middle English armonie.

So, in one word, we have a fragmented history of the world!
