Root Explanation
Agree → It is formed from "ad-" (meaning to) and "gratus" (meaning pleasing or thankful). The word "agree" means to come to a pleasing or harmonious arrangement with someone.
Memory Tip
Think of coming 'to' ('ad-') a 'pleasing' agreement — that's why agree means to have the same opinion or to be in harmony.
