Definition
A French word meaning a competitive gathering, contest, or public competition, often used in English for horse shows or car exhibitions.
Etymology
From French 'concours,' derived from Latin 'concursus' (a running together, from 'con-' and 'currere' meaning to run). The term entered English from French in the 18th century.
Kelly Says
The famous 'Concours d'Elegance' car shows got their name from 18th-century French aristocratic gatherings where nobles would display their finest horses and carriages to 'run together' in friendly competition.
