|con-sent-driv-en|
/kənˈsɛnt ˌdrɪvən/
guided by agreement
Etymology
'consent-driven' originates from the combination of 'consent' and 'driven', where 'consent' comes from Latin 'consentire', meaning 'to agree', and 'driven' is the past participle of 'drive', meaning 'to propel or motivate'.
'consent' changed from the Latin word 'consentire' to the Old French 'consentir', and eventually became the modern English word 'consent'. 'Driven' evolved from the Old English 'drifan', meaning 'to drive'.
Initially, 'consent' meant 'to agree or feel together', and 'driven' meant 'propelled'. Together, they evolved to mean 'guided by agreement'.
