Etymology
'routinely-approved' originates from the combination of 'routine' and 'approve', where 'routine' comes from French 'routine', meaning 'usual course of action', and 'approve' from Latin 'approbare', meaning 'to assent to'.
'routine' changed from the French word 'routine' and 'approve' from the Latin 'approbare', eventually forming the modern English term 'routinely-approved'.
Initially, 'approve' meant 'to assent to', and 'routine' meant 'usual course of action'. Over time, 'routinely-approved' evolved to mean 'regularly sanctioned'.
