  • Dictionary definitions are nice but rarely capture the full meaning of the word. Connotations of the word are pretty important.

    If I say “I tolerate that behavior,” you can probably infer that I don’t like that behavior based on the connotations of the word tolerate. It invokes a negativity toward the subject.

    Similarly for consent. The examples bear this out: medical treatments, business trips, and short notice are generally not pleasant things.
