de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

"With the brutal potential of World War II for chemical warfare on American soil, an intriguing approach was taken to get children to wear their terrifying gas masks. With the approval of Walt Disney himself, the Mickey Mouse gas mask was imagined in 1942." Via Atlas Obscura
