Definition
The act of consenting; an instance or expression of agreement or permission.
Etymology
From 'consent' plus the noun-forming suffix '-ment,' which comes from Latin '-mentum.' This creates a noun meaning the action or result of consenting, similar to 'agreement' or 'approval.'
Kelly Says
Medieval legal documents used 'consentment' to describe formal agreements—it's a forgotten synonym for 'consent' that reminds us how English constantly creates synonyms, even for simple ideas.
