Etymology
'superficially-verified' originates from the combination of 'superficial' and 'verify'. 'Superficial' comes from Latin 'superficialis', meaning 'of or pertaining to the surface', and 'verify' comes from Latin 'verificare', meaning 'to make true'.
'superficial' changed from the Latin word 'superficialis' and 'verify' from 'verificare', eventually combining in modern English to form 'superficially-verified'.
Initially, 'superficial' meant 'pertaining to the surface', and 'verify' meant 'to make true'. Together, they evolved to mean 'checked in a non-thorough manner'.
