How to spell agreement

Agreement is spelled A-G-R-E-E-M-E-N-T. Keep both E's of agree, then add -MENT: agree + ment.

What it means: A statement of an exchange of promises.

In a sentence: The friends made an agreement to share their toys. ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for double e.

Same family: agreed, agreeing, disagree, disagreement. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Agreement” comes from the Old French word “agreer,” meaning “to please,” and the suffix “-ment,” which turns verbs into nouns. So an agreement is literally the result of people finding something pleasing or acceptable together.
