What do you think about this matter?
Sentio, sentire, sensi, sensum is fourth conjugation, and the perfect stem sens- carries most of the family: sensus, sententia, consensus, and English sense, sentiment, consent, assent, dissent and resent.
Two ranges of meaning. To perceive with the senses, and to hold an opinion, in which case it usually takes an accusative and infinitive. In political prose idem sentire cum aliquo means to be on his side, not merely to agree with him in the abstract, and Cicero uses it as a party label. One small nuisance: sensus is both the perfect participle of this verb and a fourth declension noun, so only the syntax tells you which you are looking at.
