The word "granting" can be traced back to the Middle English verb "graunten", which derives from the Old French word "graunter" meaning "to grant or consent". This Old French word, in turn, originates from the Latin verb "concedere", which means "to give up, yield, or grant". The Latin term is formed of the prefix "con-" meaning "together" and "cedere" meaning "to go, withdraw, or yield". Over time, the verb "graunten" in Middle English evolved into "granting" as we use it today.
