deliberate approval
Etymology
'consciously-approved' originates from the combination of 'conscious' and 'approve,' where 'conscious' comes from Latin 'conscire,' meaning 'to be aware,' and 'approve' from Latin 'approbare,' meaning 'to assent to.'
'conscious' changed from the Latin word 'conscire' and 'approve' from 'approbare,' eventually forming the modern English term 'consciously-approved.'
Initially, 'conscious' meant 'aware' and 'approve' meant 'to assent to,' and together they evolved to mean 'approved with awareness.'
