vt. to consent or concede (e.g., "I agree to the terms")
The word "agree" originates from the Old French agreer ("to please, satisfy"), derived from the Latin phrase ad grātum ("to what is pleasing"). The root gree traces back to Latin gratus ("pleasing, thankful"), which also gives us words like "gratitude" and "congratulate." Over time, "agree" evolved from the literal sense of "pleasing someone" to the modern meaning of mutual consent or harmony in opinion.
