Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived directly from the Latin noun consensus, originating from consentire meaning 'to feel together' or 'to agree', formed from com- ('together') and sentire ('to feel'). Entering the English language in the early 17th century, the term initially retained its literal sense of general agreement or accord in opinion before evolving into a standard political and sociological term denoting collective decision-making.
