verificó

Verificó is the third-person singular form of the Spanish verb verificar in the pretérito indefinido (simple past). It means "he verified" or "she verified," and can also correspond to the formal usted form: "usted verificó." The infinitive is verificar, with related forms such as verificando (gerund) and verificado (past participle). The noun form is verificación.

Etymology and form: verificar derives from Latin verificare, from verus "true" and facere "to make," conveying the sense of proving something true or confirming it. In standard Spanish orthography, the preterite forms of verificar are regular aside from the usual exception for the first-person singular: yo verifiqué. Therefore, the other present and past forms include verificaste, verificó, verificamos, verificasteis, verifiaron.

Usage: Verificó is used to indicate a completed verification action in the past. It appears in journalism, documentation, audits, research, and any context where a claim or data point was checked and confirmed. The term is neutral and factual, without indicating the method of verificación beyond the action itself. It often appears with direct objects such as datos, hechos, documentos, o resultados (e.g., "El informe verificó los datos antes de su publicación").

See also: verificar, verificación, verificado, verificador. The word is primarily used in Spanish-language texts and should not be confused with similar forms in other Romance languages, where the exact spelling or accent may differ.
