Agreed to something; gave permission or approval to something that someone else wanted to do.
From Latin 'consentire' (to feel together or agree), where 'con-' means together and 'sentire' means to feel. The word has meant agreement or approval since medieval times.
In legal and medical fields, 'informed consent' has become hugely important—it means you can't just say yes, you have to understand what you're saying yes to! Many of history's worst medical experiments happened because people didn't truly consent or weren't told the risks.
