The German word "bewilligen" is a verb meaning "to approve" or "to grant" (e.g., a request, application, or permission).
- It is composed of "willing" (related to granting or permitting) combined with the prefix "be-", which often turns roots into verbs with causative or comprehensive meaning.
Similar words:
- genehmigen (to approve, authorize)
- erlauben (to allow)

- bewilligen often refers to formal granting or approval of official requests, especially financial support or permits.
- genehmigen is broader and can mean approving plans or actions.
- erlauben is more about giving permission on a general level.
- grantieren relates more to guaranteeing assurances rather than approval.
