Definition: To attest to (a fact) as the truth.
Alright class, settle in and let’s take a look!
That dictionary definition – “to attest to as the truth” – is a good start, but let’s break it down with a little rhyme.
“Certified” means something has been checked with care,
A formal statement, beyond compare!
It's like saying, "I can truly say,"
That something’s right, in every way.
Think of it this way: if you get a certificate for baking bread,
It proves you know the recipe, and aren’t misled!
It shows that someone – an expert, maybe true –
Has looked closely and said, “This is what's due!”
So, ‘certified’ means officially confirmed, you see,
A sign of quality, for you and me.
Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about this word today?
