Would you prefer Merriam-Webster? I hear they're changing the definition of 'racism' b/c some 20 y/o black woman complained.

From the latin veritas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veritas#:~:text=In%20Roman%20mythology%2C%20Veritas%2C%20meaning,and%20the%20mother%20of%20Virtus.&text=The%20Greek%20goddess%20of%20truth,(Ancient%20Greek%3A%20%E1%BC%80%CE%BB%CE%AE%CE%B8%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%B1).

You said...

He's verifiably retarded.

He's not vertiably retarded because he's actually retarded.

The precise opposite is true... he is in fact veritably retarded b/c he's actually retarded. The difference is that I'm not asking anyone to "verify" it. It's a statement not seeking confirmation.

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.

Freedictionary.com is the least degenerate

merrian-webster and dictionary.cambridge reek of shitlibism on top of being a pile of garbage regarding layout and overall design
