Nods in approval
Assents are agreements or expressions of approval, the plural of assent.
To give one's assent is to agree or consent, often formally: The committee received the necessary assents to proceed.
Royal assent is the monarch's formal approval of legislation.
The word carries a tone of deliberate, considered agreement rather than casual acceptance.
