[Alteration (influenced by chord, musical instrument string) of Middle English cord, from accord, agreement, from Old French acorde, from acorder, to agree; see accord.]Usage Note: The words chord and cord are often confused—and with good reason, for they are really three words, not two. There are two words spelled chord (listed as separate entries with homograph numbers in this dictionary). The first comes from the word accord and refers to a harmonious combination of three or more musical notes. The second is an alteration of cord, taking its spelling from Greek chorda, "string, gut," by way of Latin. This is the mathematical chord—a line segment that joins two points on a curve. Cord itself means "a string or rope." It has many extensions, as in an electrical cord and a cord of wood. When referring to anatomical structures, it can be spelled in general usage either as cord or chord (again by influence of Greek and Latin). Strict medical usage requires cord, however. A doctor may examine a spinal cord or vocal cords, not chords.

in mathematics. 1 In geometry, a secant is a straight line cutting a curve or surface. If it intersects the curve in two different points, as in the secant of a circle, the segment of the secant between the points is called a chord.

chord, in music, two or more simultaneously sounding pitches. In tonal music the fundamental chord is called the triad. It consists of three pitches, two a perfect fifth apart and a third pitch a major or minor third lower, forming respectively the major or minor triad. However, a triad may instead be diminished or augmented, or may contain dissonant elements such as a seventh. In atonal music, other types of chord formations occur. It is, however, an essential property of a chord that it be conceived as an entity, that its constituent notes "fuse" rather than merely coincide in time.ChordA principal member or pair of members of a truss extending from one end to the other, to resist bending.Chord the simultaneous combination of several notes of different pitch, auditorily perceived as a unity of sound. Chords are differentiated by the quantitative and interval composition of the notes which make them up. Basically, a chord’s notes are arranged by thirds, proceeding upward from the lowest tone. Each one has its own name (according to the interval between it and the lowest note): the basic tone or root, the third, fifth, seventh, and so on. The fundamental kinds of chords are the triad (consisting of three different notes), the seventh (consisting of four), the ninth (five), and the eleventh (six). Triads are of four types: major (a major and a minor third), minor (a minor and a major third), diminished (two minor thirds), and augmented (two major thirds). Seventh chords are formed from triads (other than augmented triads) with the addition of a minor or major third above the chord. Sevenths may be major, minor, or diminished, depending upon the interval of the seventh between the extreme notes. Shifting the notes of a chord—that is, moving the basic tone to one of the higher voices—is called inversion. In such cases the designation of the chord changes. A triad has two inversions (chord of the sixth and six-four chord). A seventh chord has three inversions (five-six chord, three-four chord, and chord of the second). The ninth and eleventh chords are primarily used in their root forms; their inversions have no independent designations. Chords which are built on fourths occur occasionally. V. A. VAKHROMEEV
