Verity and veracity have similar spellings and meanings. Why?
What exactly is the difference between them that warrants the need for these two separate words?
Answer
I think Verity would be used in reference to truth, in and of itself, and Veracity would be used to refer to truthfulness, as in a person. It is a pretty subtle difference, IMHO.
