Etimology of Corroborate

(You may find corroborate at the world legal encyclopedia and the etimology of more terms).

1530s, “to give (legal) confirmation to,” from Latin corroboratus, past participle of corroborare “to strengthen, invigorate,” from assimilated form of com “with, together,” here perhaps as “thoroughly” (see com-) + roborare “to make strong,” from robur, robus “strength,” (see robust). Meaning “to strengthen by evidence, to confirm” is from 1706. Sometimes in early use the word also has its literal Latin sense, especially of medicines. Related: Corroborated; corroborating; corroborative.
