Veristic - a podcast by Word of the Day

Veristic is an adjective that means extremely naturalistic.

Our word of the day is one of many words derived from the Latin word verum (VAIR oom) meaning truth. There’s also veracity, verily and previous word of the day verisimilitude. Veristic is frequently used to describe artwork that is naturalistic in nature. 

I enjoy the veristic quality of my daughter’s paintings. Those lush landscapes seem so real.
