Derived from the combination of 'retrospective' (from Latin 'retrospectus', past-looking) and 'approval' (from Old French 'approuver', to validate or confirm). The compound term emerged in legal, administrative, and corporate governance contexts during the late 20th century to describe the formal sanctioning of actions already undertaken.
