rut mu' "vetted" vIQoypu'.  "authorize" rurba'.  'ach nuq 'oH mu' mung'e'?

I've heard the word "vetted" a few times.  It obviously means something like 
"authorize".  But where does it come from?  I thought maybe it was short for 
something.  My English dictionary tells me that it comes from "veterinarian". 
 Can this be right, or am I dealing with two different words?
