An archaic or rare term meaning to falsify or prove something to be false.
From Latin 'falsificare' (to forge or counterfeit). This form is largely obsolete, replaced by the more common 'falsify' in modern English usage.
This is a 'ghost word'—an obsolete term that lingers in dictionaries but almost never appears in modern speech, a linguistic fossil from when English borrowed more directly from Latin.
