Seconded has two common meanings and they're pronounced differently (that's not useful when you're reading, of course) 1. Seconded (SECond-id) - yes, I agree with the previous person. Also used during meetings, one person might propose something and another second it before it's put to a vote. 2. Seconded (sec-OND-id) - when you work for one organisation, but they "lend" you to another org to work exclusively for the second organisation for an agreed length of time.

"Seconded" here means "agreed" or "supported", etc. It comes from standard practices when running meetings ("parliamentary procedure"). One person proposes something, and another person "seconds" it, and after that people can vote, etc.

In traditional English Parliament (or in most forms of governance), any motion had to be seconded for it to even be considered. A motion generally wouldn't be voted on if there was no other support for it, thus necessitating a "second". More than one person could second a motion. This eventually crept into mainstream media, mostly through TV and radio plays, where someone would give an opinion, and someone else would second it, essentially agreeing with that opinion. For comedy, a third person might "thirds" it, essentially seconding it again. These days it just means "I agree".

It comes from the rules of order for an official meeting. To pass a resolution, somebody has to make a motion—for example, “I move that we spend $467 to fix the boiler.” Before the motion can be discussed, however, it needs to be seconded. “Is there a second?” the chairperson asks. Somebody speaks up and says, “I’ll second it,” or just “Seconded!” And then it can be discussed and voted on.
