veracious
意味: Truthful, accurate, and habitually honest. Describes a person who speaks the truth or an account that is factually correct.
Veracious is a formal and somewhat rare alternative to 'truthful,' lending an elevated tone to descriptions of honesty. It is frequently confused with 'voracious' (greedy, insatiable), which sounds similar but has an entirely different meaning. The word appears in legal, academic, and literary contexts, and is more commonly found as the related noun 'veracity' — as in 'the veracity of his claims.'
