About This Root
From Latin vērus (true, real). Gives English its "truth" vocabulary: verify (to make true/confirm), veracity (truthfulness), veritable (truly so), verdict (a true saying — from vērum + dictum), veracious (truthful), and aver (to declare as true). Verisimilar means "resembling truth" — having the appearance of being real.
