Testimony is a formal statement, usually given in court, in which someone describes what they saw, know, or believe. It can also mean a personal story about how something affected your life.
From Latin *testimonium* 'evidence, proof', from *testis* 'witness'. It originally referred to what a witness said to support a claim.
Testimony turns personal experience into public evidence. In court, in religion, or in everyday life, when you give testimony you’re stepping into the role of a witness for the truth as you see it.
