agree etymology

Etymology:

• From Middle English agreen, from Anglo-Norman agreer, from Old French agreer ("to please, suit"), from Latin agrēgere ("to collect, bring together"), from grex ("flock, herd").

Meaning:

• To be in accord or agreement with; to hold the same opinion or view as another.
• To consent or assent to; to give one's approval to.
• To be suitable or appropriate for; to match or harmonize with.

Origin:

• The word "agree" ultimately derives from the Latin word grex, meaning "flock" or "herd." This is because the Romans believed that a flock of sheep would naturally behave in an orderly and harmonious manner, and thus they used the word grex to describe a group of people who were in agreement or accord.
