Etymology
Etymology Information

'consciously-agreed' originates from the combination of 'consciously' and 'agreed', where 'consciously' is derived from Latin 'conscius', meaning 'knowing with others or in oneself', and 'agreed' from Old French 'agreer', meaning 'to please or satisfy'.

Historical Evolution

'consciously' changed from the Latin word 'conscius' and 'agreed' from the Old French word 'agreer', eventually forming the modern English term 'consciously-agreed'.

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'consciously' meant 'with knowledge or awareness', and 'agreed' meant 'to be in harmony or accord', evolving into the current meaning of 'mutually accepted with awareness'.
