concurred

Concurred is the past tense and past participle of the verb concur. It has two main senses: to agree or share the same opinion, and to occur at the same time. In the sense of agreement, concurred describes alignment of views among people or bodies and is common in formal writing: "The committee recommended the plan, and the board concurred." In the sense of simultaneity, it can describe events that occur together: "The witnesses' statements concurred on the timeline of events."

The word is frequently used in legal, governmental, academic, and journalistic contexts to report consensus or coincidence. Etymology: from Latin concurrere "to run together," from con- "together" + currere "to run." The form is more formal than "agreed" for the sense of agreement and can carry a slightly distant or administrative tone. In everyday speech, speakers often substitute "agreed" or "happened at the same time" depending on the intended sense. In practice, consider the object: "concurred with" can indicate agreement with a person or body, while "concurred on" can indicate agreement about a topic or detail.

Overall, concurred remains a concise way to indicate both a moral or interpretive alignment and a temporal coincidence within formal discourse.
