Usage Note

Unanimidad almost always appears in the fixed phrase por unanimidad (unanimously), especially in voting contexts (aprobado por unanimidad — passed unanimously). The adjective unánime (unanimous) is its natural companion. The word stresses the final syllable, which catches learners off guard given its length.
