Where does the word authorized come from?

The word "authorized" originates from the Latin word "auctoritas," meaning "authority." It entered English through the Old French word "autoriser," meaning "to give authority." The suffix "-ized" denotes the act of being made or considered something, in this case, having authority bestowed upon it.
