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.
Examples
"La propuesta fue aprobada por unanimidad."
