Etymology
The word validation comes from the Latin word validus and the older root valere, which mean 'to be strong' or 'to be worth', and you can see the same root in the English word valid. Think of validation as making something 'strong' by checking it carefully. That's why validation means proving that something is correct or acceptable.
