When someone or something was permitted to do something, it means that they were given consent, authorization, or official approval to take a specific course of action. The subject or entity obtaining permission may vary, including individuals, groups, or even inanimate objects.
Being permitted entails being allowed to engage in certain activities that may have been restricted or prohibited otherwise, such as entering a restricted area, accessing certain information, undertaking specific tasks, or exercising particular rights. The act of granting permission is typically carried out by someone in authority, such as a parent, a supervisor, a government agency, or an organization.

Etymology of WAS PERMITTED
The word "was permitted" is not a single word but a phrase composed of the past tense form of the verb "to be" (was) and the past participle form of the verb "to permit" (permitted). Therefore, the etymology of the word "permitted" is of more relevance here.
The word "permit" is derived from the Latin verb "permittere", which is a compound formed from the prefix "per-" (meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and the verb "mittere" (meaning "to send"). "Permittere" originally meant "to let pass", "to let go through", or "to allow" in Latin. Over time, it evolved and was adopted into several Romance languages, including Old French, where it became "permettre".
