Surface Forms

in agreement positive

Morphology

in + agreement

The meaning 'having the same opinion' is directly and transparently derived from the preposition 'in' combined with 'agreement' (mutual approval/concord). This compositional NP/ADJ pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows standard English usage, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

In agreement creates a simple picture: people sitting together in the same place and sharing the same agreement, nodding as they all agree. So, it means 'having the same opinion as others'.
