To establish, assert, or declare something as evident or proven; to make clear or evident.
From Latin constare, from con- (together) + stare (to stand). The root literally means 'to stand together clearly' or 'to stand together as proof.'
Constate comes from the same Latin root as 'constitute' and 'constable'—all about things standing together firmly, whether as law, evidence, or authority.
