I would very much like to install Korganizer in EndevourOS but can’t seem to make it happen. Can someone help, please?
Welcome to the forum!! 
Can you give us more details? What method are you using to install Korganizer?
What Desktop Environment are you running?

I tried this:
sudo pacman -Syu Korganizer
:: Synchronizing package databases…
error: failed to synchronize all databases (unable to lock database)
And this:
sudo pacman -S Korganizer
error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
error: could not lock database: File exists
if you’re sure a package manager is not already
running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
Trying doing
sudo rm -f /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
This will remove the db.lck file which is preventing pacman to run
Then run
sudo pacman -Syu
or
yay
to update your system. Finally, run
sudo pacman -S korganizer
to install your package.

sudo pacman -S is the proper way to install a package, the other one you listed (-Syu) is used for updating all installed packages. The message about being unable to lock the database makes me think you already tried some other things. I would reboot to “clean” things up and then try again.

You can update the system plus install new packages at the same time.
pacman -Syu name_of_package works just fine.
