Did you know? The word 'accepted' has been in use since the 15th century, and its meaning has remained relatively consistent over time, with various senses emerging to accommodate different contexts and applications. Interestingly, the word 'accept' is also related to the word 'except', which comes from the same Latin root 'ceptare', but has a distinct meaning of exclusion rather than inclusion.
