How Do You Spell AFFORCE?

The word "afforce," pronounced /əˈfɔːs/, is not commonly used in modern English. It is an archaic legal term that means to strengthen or corroborate a claim or argument.

Etymology of AFFORCE

The word "afforce" is derived from the Old French verb "aforce", which means "to strengthen" or "to reinforce". It ultimately comes from the Latin word "adfortiare", which has the same meaning. The prefix "ad-" in Latin signifies "to" or "toward", while "fortiare" is derived from the Latin word "fortis", meaning "strong". Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of the word evolved into "afforce" in Middle English and has since retained its meaning of reinforcing or strengthening something.
