accordionist

/əˈkɔɹd.i.ə.nəst/ noun

Someone who plays the accordion.

Word Origin Accordionist is built on the Latin root cord- 'heart' — yes, heart! Accordion comes from Italian accordare 'to tune', which goes back to Latin ad- 'to' + cor 'heart', meaning 'to bring to heart' or 'harmonize'. So an accordionist is literally someone who makes harmony with a heart-tuned instrument. The same root gives us record (remember in the heart), concord (hearts together), and courage (from French coeur, heart).

noun Someone who plays the accordion. countable
