Etymology: Latin "concurrere" was a compound of "con-" ("together") and "currere" ("to run"), so its literal sense was "to run together." From that physical image came the sense of things converging, and then of people coming to the same conclusion. English borrowed the verb directly from Latin "concurrere," and the meaning "agree with others" grew out of the older idea of running alongside each other toward one point. The word's original English sense was closer to the Latin, meaning to come together or coincide, as when two events happened at the same time or two lines met. Agreement in opinion came later, so when you concur with a colleague you are, in a faint way, describing two paths that have arrived at the same place.
