agreement-based
Etymology
'consensus-driven' originates from the Latin word 'consensus,' meaning 'agreement,' combined with the English word 'driven,' meaning 'propelled or motivated by.'
'consensus' evolved from the Latin 'consensus,' and 'driven' from the Old English 'drifan,' eventually forming the modern English term 'consensus-driven.'
Initially, 'consensus' meant 'agreement in opinion,' and 'driven' meant 'propelled by force.' Over time, 'consensus-driven' evolved to mean 'influenced by collective agreement.'
