BEAR OUT Meaning and
Definition
-
To bear out is a phrasal verb that refers to the act of supporting or confirming a statement, theory, or claim with evidence or facts. It carries the meaning of substantiating or verifying the truth or validity of something.
When information or evidence bears out a particular assertion, it means that it lends credence or support to that claim. This can involve presenting facts, data, or testimonies that align with and provide corroboration for the initial statement. The evidence may be gathered through various means such as research, investigation, or observation.
This phrase is often used when trying to prove a point or validate an argument. For instance, during a courtroom trial, a witness may bear out the prosecution's case by providing crucial testimony that supports the charges brought against the defendant.
In a broader context, "bear out" can also apply to situations where an objective assessment or observation validates an earlier assumption or prediction. For example, if a weather forecast predicts heavy rain, and the day turns out to be wet and stormy, it can be said that the weather bore out the forecast.
In summary, "bear out" is a phrase used to describe the act of providing evidence or support that confirms the truthfulness or accuracy of a statement, theory, or claim.
