(verify)
confirm truth
Etymology
'verify' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'verificare', where 'verus' meant 'true' and 'facere' meant 'to make'.
'verify' changed from Old French 'verifier' and Middle English forms (such as 'verifien'), and eventually became the modern English word 'verify'.
Initially, it meant 'to make true' or 'to render true', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to check or confirm the truth or accuracy of something'.
