Etymology

The word 'approbation' originates from the Latin word 'approbatio', which means 'approval' or 'praise.' This Latin term is derived from 'approbare', composed of 'ad-' meaning 'to' and 'probare', which means 'to test' or 'to prove.' The term made its way into Middle English as 'approbacioun' in the 15th century, signifying formal approval or commendation. Over the centuries, it has retained its formal tone and is commonly used in literary and legal contexts to denote official endorsement or recognition. Its usage implies not only acceptance but also a level of respect and authority given to the subject being praised.
