di consentes
Latin
Alternative forms
- diī cōnsentēs, deī cōnsentēs
Etymology
Disputed.
- Perhaps from dī (“gods”) + cōnsentēs (likely a contraction of cōnsentientēs (“agreeing”)). If this theory is accepted, then, etymologically, the phrase means something akin to "the gods being together."
- Perhaps from Proto-Italic *konsēnts and related to Oscan kúnsíf.[1]
