Word For The Day, Monday 11/11/02
The Verbivores | 11/11/02 | Mistress Bella

Posted on 11/11/2002 7:26:40 AM PST by Bella_Bru

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....


aver\uh-VUR\, transitive verb:
[Inflected forms: averred; averring]:

1. To affirm with confidence; to declare in a positive manner, as in confidence of asserting the truth.
2. (Law) To assert, claim, or declare as a fact.

Etymology: Aver is from Old French-Medieval French averer, from Medieval Latin adverare, to confirm as authentic, from Latin ad-, ad- + Medieval Latin verare, from Latin verus, true. Other words deriving from verus are very, which sometimes has the sense of "true"; verify, to prove the truth of; and verdict, a decision or judgment, literally a "true-saying" (verus + dictum, saying).

Something tells me that when X42 [Klintoon] uses the word aver, its meaning is radically altered.

Why not throw in a Caesar salad with a raw egg in the dressing?

Let's see Pork- trichinosis; Potato Salad - Staph; Eggs-Salmonella and Campylobacter.

Add some home canned tomatoes for botulism and we can go for a Grand Slam.
