👉 To give a formal (usually written) authorization.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That’s a very good definition you’ve read – “To give a formal, usually written authorization.” But what does that really mean? Let's break it down with a little rhyme, to make it stick in your mind. Licensing, licensing, let’s unwind, It means permission, truly aligned! Think of it like this: imagine you want to sell ice cream – delicious and bright! You can’t just start handing out cones on the street, right? You need a license from the town. That license is authorization - it's a written agreement saying “Yes, you are allowed to do this!” It’s about rules and regulations, making sure things are done properly and safely. A driver needs a license to drive a car, a barber needs one to cut hair, and so on. So, licensing means granting an official okay – a formal written permission - to do something that you aren’t normally allowed to do. Do you have any questions about that? Let's discuss!
