carte blanche
noun
plural cartes blanches ˈkärt(s)-ˈblänch 
-ˈbläⁿsh
-ˈbläⁿsh : full discretionary (see discretion sense 1a) power
Did you know?
Carte blanche is much like a blank check. In French, carte means "document" and blanche means "blank," so the phrase means "blank document." English retained that literal meaning: a carte blanche was a blank document signed in advance by one party and given to the other with permission to fill in conditions later. Much like blank check, carte blanche also took on the extended meaning "complete freedom."
