Romanian "aproba" was borrowed in the 19th century from French "approuver", part of a wave of French loanwords that modernized Romanian's administrative and intellectual vocabulary. Its form was reinforced by the parallel Latin verb "approbare", built from "ad-" (toward) and "probare" (to test, to judge good). The Latin root "probus" meant upright or good, so approving something originally meant judging it good enough to pass.
