Etymology
Consenting comes from the Latin parts con- 'together' and sentire 'to feel', so it originally meant 'to feel together'. A helpful way to remember this is that it shares the root with the word sense, and that's why consenting means agreeing or giving permission when people 'feel' the same about something.
