Etymology
'regionally-approved' originates from the combination of 'regional' and 'approved'. 'Regional' comes from Latin 'regionalis', meaning 'pertaining to a region', and 'approved' comes from Latin 'approbare', meaning 'to approve'.
'Regional' evolved from the Latin 'regionalis' through Old French 'regional', and 'approved' evolved from Latin 'approbare' through Old French 'aprover'.
Initially, 'regional' meant 'pertaining to a region', and 'approved' meant 'to give consent'. The combined term 'regionally-approved' now means 'approved within a specific region'.
