  1. combine

    Agree is the most general term of this group, signifying to have like qualities, proportions, views, or inclinations, so as to be free from jar, conflict, or contradiction in a given relation. To concur is to agree in general; to coincide is to agree in every particular. Whether in application to persons or things, concur tends to expression in action more than coincide; we may either concur or coincide in an opinion, but concur in a decision; views coincide, causes concur. One accepts another’s terms, complies with his wishes, admits his statement, approves his plan, conforms to his views of doctrine or duty, accedes or consents to his proposal. Accede expresses the more formal agreement, consent the more complete. To assent is an act of the understanding; to consent, of the will. We may concur or agree with others, either in opinion or decision. One may silently acquiesce in that which does not meet his views, but which he does not care to contest. He admits the charge brought, or the statement made, by another — admit always carrying a suggestion of reluctance. Assent is sometimes used for a mild form of consent, as if agreement in the opinion assured approval of the decision.

    Synonyms:
    accede, accept, accord, acquiesce, admit, agree, approve, assent, coincide, comply, concur, consent, harmonize

    Antonyms:
    contend, contradict, decline, demur, deny, differ, disagree, dispute, dissent, oppose, protest, refuse

    Preposition:
    I agree in opinion with the speaker; to the terms proposed; persons agree on or upon a statement of principles, rules, etc.; we must agree among ourselves.

MORE ABOUT COMBINE

What does combine mean?

To combine means to join two or more things together into a single unit.

When things are combined, they form combinations. Less commonly, combine can also be used as a noun to refer to several different things, especially a grain harvester and an event at which athletes showcase their skills.

Example: At the draft combine, scouts are looking for a player who combines strength, agility, and intelligence in a single package.

Where does combine come from?

The first records of the word combine come from around the 1400s. It is derived from the Late Latin combīnāre, which is formed from com-, meaning “together,” and bīnī, meaning “two by two.”

Combining often involves joining two things, but it can be more than two. When you combine multiple things, the idea is to form a single thing. Chefs combine ingredients to create a dish. Elements combine to form molecules. Writers combine words to form sentences, and combine sentences to form paragraphs, and combine paragraphs to hit their word count. People can combine efforts to achieve a goal, or combine their powers to summon Captain Planet, or combine vehicles to form Voltron, or combine pop culture references to hit their word count.

Less commonly, combine can be used as a noun, in which case it is pronounced “COM-bine.” In the context of farming, a combine is a machine used to harvest grain. (It can also be used as a verb in this context, meaning “to harvest grain with a combine machine.” It is pronounced the same way as the noun.) As a noun, combine can also be used to refer to a combination or group, such as an association or organizations, though this use is uncommon. In sports, a combine is an event in which new players can showcase their talents for teams. It is especially used in the phrases draft combine and scouting combine.

Did you know … ?

How is combine used in real life?

Combine can be used in countless contexts. Both abstract and tangible things can be combined.

Genetics, environmental influences, parenting styles, friends, teachers, schools, and the culture at large are just some of the major factors that combine in unique ways to determine how a child develops and the person they will one day become.
