consensus
/kənˈsɛnsəs/noun
General agreement among the members of a group, or the way of making decisions that aims for such agreement.
Example sentences
- “The committee finally reached a consensus on the budget.”
- “There is broad consensus among doctors that regular exercise helps.”
Spelling trap: there is no c in the middle, so not 'concensus'. 'General consensus' is redundant, since consensus already means general agreement.
