Morphology

consentaneous = consent (semi-transparent) = consent + aneous

The base word 'consent' is recognizable, but the learned adjectival suffix '-aneous' makes the full meaning only partly predictable for most learners.

Etymology

Consentaneous comes from the parts con- 'together' and sentire 'to feel', and you can see the same idea in the common word consent. So, to be consentaneous is to 'feel' or agree 'together', which is why it means complete agreement or being unanimous.
