A-GREE', v.i. [Fr. agréer, from gré, will, accord. This is contracted from Sp. agradar, Port. id. to please, to gratify, whence agradable, agreeable; from the root of L. gratia, W. rhad, grace, favor, that comes freely. The primary sense is advancing, from the same root as L. gradior; W. rhaz, (rhath); Syr. ܪܕܐ radah, to go.]
