Third person singular present of 'agree'; to have the same opinion or to consent to something.
From Old French 'agreer,' composed of 'a-' (to) and 'gré' (pleasure, will), ultimately from Latin 'gratus' meaning 'pleasing, thankful.' The word originally meant 'to receive favorably' before evolving to mean 'to be in harmony with' in the 14th century.
The word 'agree' literally means 'to please' someone, which explains why agreements feel good - they're etymologically designed to create pleasure and satisfaction between parties. This connection to pleasure also appears in related words like 'grateful' and 'grace.'
