Not once in literature or conversation have I ever seen/heard that word used to imply something is exactly the words that comes after it. Example?
And you're links clearly state that the word is from old english and french origins. Basically meaning the same thing, but your autist game is weak.
We shall let the people decide. You'll likely win as most are retarded.
This comment section is fantastic! If somehow you're still curious about what I think (which typically is a sign of poor mental health and corrupted judgement), it seems the word can be used to mean truly or almost truly. says veritable means "being truly or very much so" and it also says "true, as a statement or tale" is obsolete. That suggests even if using veritably to mean x is literally y is correct, that is not the sole (or even the typical) use of the word. supports this definition by saying "when something is veritable it is true, or at least feels that way". While I'm not familiar with the word myself, it seems you are both partly right.
