Etymology
'consciously-authorized' is a compound word combining 'consciously' and 'authorized'. 'Consciously' originates from Latin 'conscius', meaning 'knowing with others or in oneself', and 'authorized' comes from Latin 'auctorizare', meaning 'to give authority'.
The term 'consciously-authorized' evolved from the combination of 'conscious' and 'authorize', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English.
Initially, 'consciously' meant 'with awareness', and 'authorized' meant 'given permission'. Together, they evolved to mean 'approved with full awareness'.
