뜻

근거로 서로 확인·입증하다

Implies that one piece of evidence or argument is confirmed and substantiated by another — mutual authentication. Distinguished from 证明 (to prove): 印证 emphasises that evidence from a separate, independent source confirms what was already suspected or claimed. Common in academic, legal, and analytical writing.
