Etymology 1
The noun is borrowed from Latin c?nsor (“magistrate; critic”), from c?nse? (“to give an opinion, judge; to assess, reckon; to decree, determine”) + -sor (variant of -tor (suffix forming masculine agent nouns)). C?nse? is derived from Proto-Italic *kens??, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *?ens- (“to announce, proclaim; to put in order”). The English word is cognate with Late Middle English sensour, Proto-Iranian *cánhati (“to declare; to explain”), Sanskrit ????? (?a?sati, “to declare”).
The verb is derived from the noun.
