Root Explanation

Verification → It is formed from "verus" (meaning true) and "facere" (meaning to make or do). The word "verification" means the act of making something true or confirming its truth.

Memory Tip

Think of making something 'true' ('verus') by 'doing' or 'making' it ('facere') — that's why verification means confirming the truth.
