Usage Examples

Etymology

Avérer comes from Old French *avérer*, which in turn derives from Latin *verus* “true” with the prefix *a-* (from Latin *ad*), forming a causative sense of “to make true.” It entered Middle French with the meaning “to prove or confirm,” and over time acquired the modern sense of verifying or substantiating. Thus, avérer is essentially “to make true” in line with its Latin root *verus*.
