vouched
Backed someone's word
Vouched is the past tense of vouch.
To vouch for someone or something is to personally guarantee their quality, character, or truth: I can't vouch for his honesty, but he's always been reliable with me.
The word implies putting your own reputation behind the claim—if you vouch for someone who fails, you share the blame.
