Etymology

For vet originally the term horse race, referring to the requirement that the horse be examined for health and health by the veterinarian before being allowed to race. Thus, it has taken the general meaning of "to check".

This is a figurative contraction veterinarian , dating from the mid-17th century. Daily abbreviations dated to the 1860s; the verb form of the word, meaning "to treat the beast", came several decades later - according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest known use is 1891 - and is applied mainly in the context of horse racing ("He examined horses before the race "," You must check the horse before he races ", etc.).

In the early 1900s, vet has begun to be used as a synonym for evaluating , especially in the context of looking for flaws.

Political choice

Politicians are often thoroughly examined. For example, in the United States, the party's presidential candidates must elect a vice presidential candidate to accompany them on a ticket. Prospective vice presidential candidates must undergo a thorough evaluation by advisory teams acting on behalf of candidates. At a later stage of the review process, the team will examine such things as vice presidential finances, personal behavior, and previous coverage in the media. The hasty inspection that preceded the election by Republican candidate John McCain from his partner Sarah Palin in 2008 was seen by many political observers as a mistake.

Transitional justice

Vetting is also a term used in the field of transitional justice. When countries undergo a transition process - after periods of armed conflict or authoritarian rule - they must determine what to do with public employees who commit human rights abuses. They should also examine and revise institutional structures that allow such violations to occur. Vetting is a set of processes for assessing the integrity of individuals (such as their adherence to relevant human rights standards) to determine their suitability for public works. Countries that transition to democracy and peace often use such processes to ensure that cruel or incompetent public employees are excluded from public services in the future.
