confirmative

/kənˈfɝmətɪv/ adj

That serves to confirm

Word Origin Confirmative comes from Latin con- 'together' and firmus 'strong' — to confirm is to make strong together, to strengthen. The -ative suffix makes it an adjective: 'tending to make firm.' The root firmus also gives us firm, affirm (to make firm), infirm (not strong), and firmament (the strong sky).
