consentingly

/kənˈsɛnɪŋli/ adv

in a consenting manner, showing consent

Word Origin From Latin con- 'together' and sentire 'to feel' — to consent is literally to feel together, to agree. Consentingly means in a manner of agreeing. The same root sentire gives us sensible (able to feel), sensitive, resent (feel again, negatively), dissent (feel apart), assent (feel toward), and even nonsense (no feeling, no sense). The PIE root *sent- meant 'to go, to feel,' an ancient connection between movement and perception.
