verity
State of authenticity
Verity is truth or a statement accepted as true.
The word is formal and somewhat old-fashioned, appearing in phrases like eternal verities—fundamental truths considered timeless and self-evident.
The verity of his claims remained in question.
Where truth is everyday, verity sounds deliberate, often invoked for weightier matters.
