'Consistent' evolved from the Latin 'consistere' through Old French 'consistant', and 'approve' evolved from Latin 'approbare' through Old French 'aprover'.
Initially, 'consistent' meant 'standing firm', and 'approve' meant 'to assent to'. Over time, 'consistently-approved' evolved to mean 'regularly accepted'.
