For Real Word of the Day
veritable
This adjective has an obvious relationship to verity, which is the quality of being true. Veritable, however, is a bit of a weasel word, since it normally characterizes things that are almost true, or that the writer wants you to think are true. Its most frequent companions are nouns denoting things capable of great destruction or power (flood, army, explosion, and the like).
