The Latin root *sent* and its variant form *sens* mean to 'feel.' Some common English words that come from these two roots include [*sens*]ation, [*sens*]ible, re[*sent*], and con[*sent*]. Remember that when you [*sens*]e something you 'feel' it, and when you are being [*sent*]imental, your 'feelings' take precedence over anything else.
