The word "warranted" is derived from the verb "warrant", which comes from Old North French "warantir". This Old French term was formed by combining the words "warant" (guarantee) and "-ir" (a verbal suffix indicating action or state). "Warant" itself originated from the Frankish-Germanic word "warand", meaning "a pledge or guarantee", which ultimately traces back to the Proto-Germanic root "warōną" (to protect or secure). The term "warranted" has evolved from its original sense of guaranteeing or securing something to its modern usage, indicating that something is justified, authorized, or supported by evidence or a guarantee.
