make true / prove
Etymology
'todentaa' originates from Finnish, formed from the stem 'toden-' (related to the adjective 'tosi', meaning 'true') combined with the verb-forming suffix '-taa'/'-ntaa' that produces causative/verb forms.
'todentaa' developed within Finnish from the adjective/root 'tosi' > stem 'toden-' plus the verb-forming suffix to yield the modern verb 'todentaa'.
Initially constructed as a verb meaning 'to make or declare true', it has maintained this central sense and is now used for 'to verify/authenticate/confirm'.
