Word origin
The word 'licensed' originated from the Old French word 'licencier' and the Latin word 'licentiare', both of which mean 'to permit'. The concept of licensing dates back to ancient times when rulers granted individuals or businesses the right to carry out certain activities. In modern times, licensing is used to regulate various professions and industries to ensure public safety and quality standards.
