unanimity
Everyone agrees completely
Unanimity is complete agreement among all members of a group.
Where majority requires only most, unanimity requires everyone—no dissent, no abstention.
The word appears in formal contexts: The jury reached unanimity after twelve hours of deliberation.
The board's unanimity on the merger surprised analysts who expected opposition.
