corroboratory
Backing up claims
Corroboratory means serving to confirm or support something already believed or established.
Corroboratory evidence strengthens a case; corroboratory testimony backs up what another witness said.
The word is formal and appears mainly in legal and academic contexts: The detective sought corroboratory witnesses before making an arrest.
