RE: ❓OMG 😱 #22: Did You know the Word 'Testify' Derived From a Time When Men Were Required to Swear on Their Testicles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

in #education8 years ago

The word is Middle English testifien, from Anglo-French testifier, from Latin testificari, from testis witness.(https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/testify). I like the idea of testicle honour but don't think it is true.
