Very \Ver"y\, a. [Compar. {Verier}; superl. {Veriest}.] [OE.
   verai, verray, OF. verai, vrai, F. vrai, (assumed) LL.
   veracus, for L. verax true, veracious, fr. verus true; akin
   to OHG. & OS. w[=a]r, G. wahr, D. waar; perhaps originally,
   that is or exists, and akin to E. was. Cf. {Aver}, v. t.,
   {Veracious}, {Verdict}, {Verity}.]
   True; real; actual; veritable.

         Whether thou be my very son Esau or not. --Gen. xxvii.
                                                  21.

         He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he
         that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
                                                  --Prov. xvii.
                                                  9.

         The very essence of truth is plainness and brightness.
                                                  --Milton.

         I looked on the consideration of public service or
         public ornament to be real and very justice. --Burke.

   Note: Very is sometimes used to make the word with which it
         is connected emphatic, and may then be paraphrased by
         same, self-same, itself, and the like. ``The very hand,
         the very words.'' --Shak. ``The very rats instinctively
         have quit it.'' --Shak. ``Yea, there where very
         desolation dwells.'' --Milton. Very is used
         occasionally in the comparative degree, and more
         frequently in the superlative. ``Was not my lord the
         verier wag of the two?'' --Shak. ``The veriest hermit
         in the nation.'' --Pope. ``He had spoken the very
         truth, and transformed it into the veriest falsehood.''
         --Hawthorne.
