‘Ascertain confirmation‘ is not a standard word but rather a phrase. The phrase combines ‘ascertain,‘ which means to find out or make sure of something, and ‘confirmation,‘ which refers to the act of verifying or validating something.
The etymology of the phrase can be traced to the roots of each word:
- ‘Ascertain‘ comes from the Middle French ‘assertain,‘ which derives from ‘asserter,‘ meaning to assure or affirm, and is rooted in the Latin ‘assertus,‘ the past participle of ‘assergere,‘ meaning to affirm or declare.
- ‘Confirmation‘ comes from the Old French ‘confirmacion,‘ which originates from the Latin ‘confirmationem,‘ and is derived from ‘confirmare,‘ meaning to make firm or establish.
Together, ‘ascertain confirmation‘ implies the act of ensuring or verifying that something is confirmed or established.
