Consented to a deadly sin (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agreed

'consented' is the definition.
(agreeing is a kind of consenting)

'a deadly sin' is the wordplay.
'deadly sin' becomes 'greed' (greed is a kind of deadly sin).
'a'+'greed'='AGREED'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for agreed that I've seen before include "very well" , "Settled by common consent" , "Jointly decided" , "Harmonised" , "Assented, acquiesced" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Sun.
