Etymology
1. c.1225, from O.Fr.
consentir, from L.
consentire "feel together," from
com- "with" +
sentire "to feel." "Feeling together," hence, "agreeing, giving permission," a sense evolution that apparently took place in Fr. before the word reached Eng.
Consensual is 1754;
consensus is 1843.
2. Recorded in Middle English since circa 1225, borrowed from Old French consentir, from Latin cōnsentīre (“to agree; to assent, consent”), itself from com- (“with”) + sentiō (“to feel”) (whence con-). See: Old French '
consentir', Latin '
cōnsentiō'.
