concoure

Concoure is not a widely recognized term in English; it is most often encountered as a misspelling or variant of the French noun concours, which translates to competition or contest. In French, concours has a range of meanings depending on context: it can denote a competition for prizes (concours de poésie), a competitive examination for entry to a school or public service (concours d'entrée, concours publics), or a beauty contest (concours de beauté). The term derives from Latin concursus “running together,” via Old French, reflecting the gathering of competitors.

In English-language usage, concours is sometimes used to describe francophone competitions or events, particularly those with formal or ceremonial framing, such as international beauty or academic contests. The spelling concoure is uncommon and generally regarded as a misspelling of concours unless used deliberately as a proper name or brand.

If "Concoure" appears as a proper noun, its meaning is defined by the specific organization, event, or product it denotes, and would be understood from context or official materials. Without such context, it has no separate, established definition in mainstream lexicons.

Related terms include concours, competition, contest, and tournament. See also French terms like concours d’admission, concours publics, and concours de beauté.
