corroborate
Significado: To confirm or give support to a statement, theory, or finding by providing additional evidence.
Corroborate is frequently used in legal and academic contexts where independent evidence is needed to support a claim. Unlike 'confirm,' corroborate specifically implies that a separate, independent source provides the supporting evidence. The adjective 'corroborative' and noun 'corroboration' are also commonly used.
