Why this word is great
ASSEVERATION — [Noun] An emphatic and solemn declaration or affirmation. From the Latin asseveration-, asseveratio, from asseverare ("to assert earnestly"), from ad- ("to") + severus ("serious, severe"). Unlike a casual assertion or a neutral declaration, an asseveration is an utterance armored in grave personal conviction. It is the hand placed flat upon the courtroom Bible, the unblinking eye contact across a candle-lit table, and the quiet, measured syllables of a vow made in absolute darkness—the sound of a soul trying to make itself a fact.
