I’m glad you like it! I like how it’s made up of three common and easily-identifiable components: it uses the same root as verify meaning true, the same root as similar meaning “like”, with tude being a common suffix like -ness. Basically “true-likeness”.
For those like me…
noun: The quality of appearing to be true or real. synonym: truth.
Context implied it but still…Nice word!
