The other day while in the car, ML asked the meaning of the word "visa". Specifically the document that we need to visit another country, not the credit card. Albeit a simple word, I have never thought the real meaning. I actually conjured up an ill-fitting "meaning": VISiting Approval :P
Anyway, I googled a bit and found this:
A visa (short for the Latin carta visa, lit. "the document having been seen") is a document issued by a country giving a certain individual permission to formally request entrance to the country during a given period of time and for certain purposes (see below for caveats and exceptions).
