'Deliberately' evolved from the Latin 'deliberatus' through Old French 'deliberer', while 'approved' evolved from Latin 'approbare' through Old French 'aprover'.
Initially, 'deliberately' meant 'considered carefully', and 'approved' meant 'to assent to'. Together, they evolved to mean 'intentionally sanctioned'.
