Corroborate

/kəˈrɒb.ə.reɪt/ verb medium

To provide supporting evidence that confirms a statement or theory is true.

Two independent witnesses corroborated the driver's account of how the accident occurred.

Memory Trick

Hidden inside the word is 'robor,' a Latin root for strength (as in 'robust') — corroborating evidence makes a claim as sturdy as oak.
