Where Does the Word Concurred Come from?

concur (v.)
early 15c., "collide, clash in hostility," from Latin concurrere "to run together, assemble hurriedly; clash, fight," in transferred use, "to happen at the same time," from assimilated form of com "together" (see con-) + currere "to run" (from PIE root *kers- "to run").

What is the meaning of concurred?

/kənˈkɜr/ -rr- to agree or have the same opinion as someone else: He said the mayor should not be reelected, and the voters concurred.

Where did the word really originate?

really (adv.)

The general sense is from early 15c. Purely emphatic use dates from c. 1600, "indeed," sometimes as a corroboration, sometimes as an expression of surprise or a term of protest; interrogative use (as in oh, really?) is recorded from 1815.
