An accordion is a musical instrument like a large box you hold in both hands. You play it by pressing the sides together and pulling them out again, while you push buttons and keys. The folding middle opens and shuts like a set of lungs. It can play a tune and a chord at the same time, which is why its name sits on the old ‘accord’ line: sounds that agree. You hear it in folk dance, street music, some church music, tango. In English this is the everyday name; some people also say , which is friendly and a little joking. Though actually we also borrow the shape: an accordion door or accordion folder folds in and out like that middle part. That is the instrument used as a picture, not a second instrument.
From the word’s history
Borrowed (1831) from German Akkordeon, from Akkord 'harmony'.
借自德文 Akkordeon，來自 Akkord「和聲」。
組成The English name came from German Akkordeon, built on Akkord (‘chord’), from French accord. French accord comes from accorder, from Vulgar Latin *accordāre (ad- + Latin cor ‘heart’) — to bring into one heart, then into one sound.
