- واژهنامه · Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary con·sen·sus n. Pronunciation: kən- ' sen(t)-səs Function: noun Usage: often attrib Etymology: Latin, from consentire Date: 1843 1 a : general agreement : UNANIMITY <the consensus of their opinion, based on reports ⋯ from the border ― John Hersey> b : the judgment arrived at by most of those concerned <the consensus was to go ahead> 2 : group solidarity in sentiment and belief usage The phrase consensus of opinion, which is not actually redundant (see sense 1a; the sense that takes the phrase is slightly older), has been so often claimed to be a redundancy that many writers avoid it. You are safe in using consensus alone when it is clear you mean consensus of opinion, and most writers in fact do so.]]>
