Plural form of asseveration; multiple serious and emphatic statements or declarations.
Simply the plural of asseveration, formed by adding the standard English -s ending to indicate more than one instance of earnest assertion.
Medieval documents are full of asseverations stacked upon each other—three or four emphatic declarations in a row—because words alone had to carry the weight of truth without modern verification.
