(accept)
consent to receive
Etymology
'deliberately' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'deliberatus,' where 'de-' meant 'down' and 'liberare' meant 'to weigh.' 'Accepted' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'acceptare,' where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'capere' meant 'to take.'
'deliberatus' transformed into the Old French word 'deliberer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'deliberate.' 'Acceptare' transformed into the Old French word 'accepter,' and eventually became the modern English word 'accept.'
Initially, 'deliberate' meant 'to weigh down or consider,' and 'accept' meant 'to take or receive.' Over time, 'deliberately-accepted' evolved to mean 'consciously and intentionally agreed upon.'
