The quality of being truthful and honest, or the accuracy and truthfulness of something stated.
From Latin 'verax' (truthful), from 'verus' (true). The suffix '-ity' forms abstract nouns. Related to 'very,' 'verify,' and 'verdict'—all rooted in truth.
The same Latin root 'verus' gives us 'verify,' 'very,' 'verdict,' and even 'vermouth'—that last one because vermouth was thought to have medicinal properties and was truly effective!
