Etymology
'internationally-accepted' originates from the combination of 'internationally' and 'accepted'. 'Internationally' comes from 'international', which is derived from Latin 'inter' meaning 'between' and 'natio' meaning 'nation'. 'Accepted' comes from Latin 'acceptare', meaning 'to receive willingly'.
'Internationally' evolved from the Latin 'inter' and 'natio', while 'accepted' transformed from the Latin 'acceptare' through Old French 'accepter', eventually becoming the modern English 'accept'.
Initially, 'accepted' meant 'to receive willingly', but over time it evolved to mean 'approved or recognized'.
