词源late Middle English (originally referring to a crowd): from Old French concours, from Latin concursus, from concurs- ‘run together, met’, from the verb concurrere ‘run together, assemble in crowds’, from con- ‘together with’ + currere ‘to run’. The current sense (originally US) dates from the mid 19th cent. - the station concourse
