Etymology
**Etymology of “certifier” (verb)**
The French verb *certifier* derives from Late Latin *certificare* “to make certain, to attest.” It is formed from *certus* (“certain”) plus the suffix *‑ficare* (“to make”), the same pattern as *fabricer* (from *fabricare*). The word entered French in the early modern period (17th c.) with the sense “to declare something certain or to give official confirmation.”
