consented
word · lemma: consent
Definition
Agreed to something or gave permission, usually after being asked.
Usage & Nuances
'Consented' is formal; typically used in legal, medical, or official contexts. Often followed by 'to' (e.g., 'consented to the plan'). Common mistake: confusing 'consented' with 'agreed'—'consented' usually involves permission.
