testify

you two are wrong. “testify” comes from the latin “witness” and has nothing to do with “t-st-cl-” which also comes from the latin for “witness”. i was asked this in cl-ss by the professor in college english. i would have been wrong and embarr-ssed myself, so i just said “i don’t know”. but here’s what i got from the internet:
testatio -onis f. calling to witness , or bearing witness.

testificatio -onis f. bearing witness , testifying; evidence, proof.

testificor -ari dep. to bear witness to , give evidence of; to show, bring to light; to call to witness.

testimonium -i n. witness , evidence; proof, indication.

testis (1) -is c. one who gives evidence , a witness; an eye-witness, a spectator.

testor -ari dep. (1) to bear witness to , give evidence of; to make known, publish, declare; as p-ss. to be attested, declared. (2) to make a will. (3) to call to witness.

btw they are called “t-st-cl-s” because they witness to the procreative power of a man.
