>From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :
Veto \Ve"to\, n.; pl. Vetoes. [L. veto I forbid.]
1. An authoritative prohibition or negative; a forbidding; an
interdiction.
2. Specifically:

government to forbid or prohibit the carrying out of
projects attempted by another department; especially,
in a constitutional government, a power vested in the
chief executive to prevent the enactment of measures
passed by the legislature.
