unanimously

/juˈnænəməsɫi/ adv

In a unanimous manner; without objection.

Word Origin Unanimously comes from Latin 'unanimus', of one mind, from 'unus' (one) and 'animus' (mind, spirit). So a unanimous decision is one where everyone shares the same mind. The root 'animus' gives us animal, animate, animosity, equanimity, magnanimous. The 'unus' root gives us unite, union, unique, unicorn. The -ous and -ly suffixes make it an adverb.
