Etymology

The word 'aver' comes from the Latin 'adverare,' which means 'to affirm' or 'to ascertain.' This, in turn, is derived from 'ad-' and 'verus,' meaning 'true.' The term found its way into Middle English through the Old French 'averer,' which maintained the meaning of asserting or affirming the truth of something. Historically, 'aver' has been used in legal language, where it signifies a formal statement that is accepted as fact within a trial or legal discussion. Its use dates back to at least the late Middle Ages, reflecting the importance of assertion and corroboration in legal matters. Over time, 'aver' has retained its formal tone and continues to be used predominantly in legal contexts, although it may also appear in literary and rhetorical discourse.
