PROVE
v.t.prov. [L. probo.] 1. To try; to ascertain some unknown quality or truth by an experiment, or by a test or standard. Thus we prove the strength of gunpowder by experiment; we prove the strength or solidity of cannon by experiment. We prove the contents of a vessel by comparing it with a standard measure.
2. To evince, establish or ascertain as truth, reality or fact, by testimony or other evidence. The plaintiff in a suit, must prove the truth of his declaration; the prosecutor must prove his charges against the accused.
3. To evince truth by argument, induction or reasoning; to deduce certain conclusions from propositions that are true or admitted. If it is admitted that every immoral act is dishonorable to a rational being, and that dueling is an immoral act; then it is proved by necessary inference, that dueling is dishonorable to a rational being.

Thus in subtraction, if the difference between two numbers, added to the lesser number, makes a sum equal to the greater, the correctness of the subtraction is proved. In other words, if the sum of the remainder and of the subtrahend, is equal to the minuend, the operation of subtraction is proved to be correct.
7. To try; to examine.
Prove your own selves. 2 Corinthians 13:5.
8. Men prove God, when by their provocations they put his patience to trial, Psalm 95:9.; or when by obedience they make trial how much he will countenance such conduct, Malachi 3:1 .

DERIVATIVES prov a bil i ty |ˌpro͞ovəˈbilətē |noun, prov a ble adjective, prov a bly |-blē |adverb, prov er noun ORIGIN Middle English: from Old French prover, from Latin probare ‘test, approve, demonstrate, ’ from probus ‘good. ’ usage: For complex historical reasons, prove developed two past participles: proved and proven.

Proven is the more common form when used as an adjective before the noun it modifies: a proven talent (not a proved talent ). Otherwise, the choice between proved and proven is not a matter of correctness, but usually of sound and rhythm —and often, consequently, a matter of familiarity, as in the legal idiom innocent until proven guilty.
