Etymology

The word 'consent' originates from the Latin 'consentire', which means 'to feel together'. It is composed of 'con-' meaning 'together' and 'sentire' meaning 'to feel'. The term evolved in the English language during the late Middle Ages, where it began to take on the modern meaning of agreement or permission. Initially used primarily in legal texts, its usage has expanded over time to encompass various fields such as medical ethics, personal relationships, and general decision-making. The evolution of the term reflects societal changes regarding individual autonomy and the importance of mutual agreement in interpersonal interactions.
