Origin

Late 15th century (in sense 2, also in the sense 'refuse to agree to'): from Old French desagreer.

  • agree from Late Middle English:

    When we agree to something, there is a core notion of trying to please; the word is from Old French agreer, based on Latin ad- ‘to’ and gratus ‘pleasing’. It took over a hundred years after the phrase ‘to agree’ first appeared in the writings of Chaucer for its opposite, disagree, to appear in writing during the 1490s.
