corroboratively

/kɝˈɑbɝəˌtɪvli/ adv

In a corroborative manner.

Word Origin Corroboratively traces back to Latin robur 'oak' — yes, the tree. The verb corroborare meant 'to strengthen thoroughly,' as if making something as solid as oak. That's why corroborate means to confirm or support with evidence, and robust (from the same root) means sturdy and strong.

adv In a corroborative manner.

The witness spoke corroboratively, supporting the defendant's alibi.
