assenting

/æsˈɛntɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of assent

Word Origin Assenting comes from Latin ad- 'toward' and sentire 'to feel' — literally 'feeling toward' something. When you assent, you're moving your feeling in agreement. The same root sentire gives us consent (feeling together), dissent (feeling apart), and even sentiment and sense. The PIE root *sent- meant 'to go, to feel one's way,' so assenting is like finding your way to agreement.
