Etymology
'agreement' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'agreer,' where 'a-' meant 'to' and 'greer' meant 'to please.'
'agreer' transformed into the Middle English word 'agrement,' and eventually became the modern English word 'agreement'.
Initially, it meant 'to please or satisfy,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a mutual arrangement or accord'.
