confirmatory

/kənˈfɝməˌtɔɹi/ adj

Serving to confirm something.

Word Origin Confirm comes from Latin com- 'together' and firmare 'to make firm' — so to confirm is to make firm together, to strengthen. Confirmatory means serving to confirm. The root firmus gives us firm, firmly, infirm (not firm), affirm (make firm to), and firmament (the fixed sky). The PIE root *dher- meant 'to hold firmly, support,' which also gives us throne and dharma.
