Possibly the English term comes from the Italilan "concordato" which referred to Papal agreements with Italian States before the unification of Italy, giving the Pope, his emmissaries and his visitors safe passage.

debt settlement


Explanation:
I think "agreement" is too general a translation here. كونكورداتو refers specifically to a negotiated agreement between a debtor and a creditor to settle a debt.
