Wikipedia tells me that the resting period is also referred to as proofing and blooming. Etymonline gives the following details on prove late 12c., pruven, proven "to try, test; evaluate; demonstrate," from Old French prover, pruver "show; convince; put to the test" (11c., Modern French prouver), from Latin probare "to make good; esteem, represent as good; make credible, show, demonstrate; test, inspect; judge by trial" (source also of Spanish probar, Italian probare), […] http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/279777/the-etymology-of-to-prove-dough
