Definition

  2. v. (past tense and past participle of "agree") to have come to a shared understanding or decision

Structure
agree <to harmonize, from Old French "agreer">ed <past tense suffix>
Etymology

The word "agreed" stems from the Old French verb "agreer," meaning "to please, satisfy, or accept," which itself derives from the Latin "ad-" (to) + "gratus" (pleasing). The suffix "-ed" marks the past tense or past participle in English. Over time, "agree" evolved to signify mutual consent, and "agreed" became its standardized past form, retaining the core idea of harmonious resolution.
