Legitimating is a verb that refers to the act of making something legitimate or legally acceptable. It involves the process of validating, authorizing, or justifying a particular action, decision, or entity in accordance with established rules, laws, or societal norms.
When something is legitimated, it is granted or acknowledged as being proper, valid, or acceptable within a given context or framework. This process often involves obtaining the necessary approvals, licenses, or documentation to ensure compliance with legal or regulatory requirements.
Legitimating can occur in various domains. For example, in politics, it can involve the recognition or authorization of a government or regime by a relevant authority or by the general population. In the realm of business, it can entail registering a company, obtaining necessary permits, or complying with industry-specific regulations to establish its legitimacy.
The process of legitimation is also relevant in ethical and moral contexts. It may involve providing valid or convincing reasons, arguments, or evidence to justify a particular belief, action, or stance. In this sense, legitimating seeks to establish credibility, authenticity, or moral acceptability.
Overall, legitimating is the act of conferring legal, moral, or societal validity upon something, effectively making it legitimate, acceptable, or justifiable within a given context.
The word "legitimating" is derived from the noun "legitimacy" which is derived from the adjective "legitimate". "Legitimate" comes from the Latin word "legitimatus", the past participle of "legitimare", which means "to make lawful" or "to legalize". The Latin word itself is derived from "lex", meaning "law". Thus, "legitimating" is formed by adding the suffix "-ing" to "legitimate" to indicate the action or process of making something legitimate or lawful.
