Webster's 1913 Dictionary

VERY

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

Defn: 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. Very Reverend.

American Oxford Thesaurus

very

very adverb that's very kind of you: extremely, exceedingly, exceptionally, extraordinarily, tremendously, immensely, hugely, intensely, acutely, abundantly, singularly, uncommonly, decidedly, particularly, supremely, highly, remarkably, really, truly, mightily, ever so; informal terrifically, awfully, fearfully, terribly, devilishly, majorly, seriously, mega, ultra, damn, damned; dead, real, way, mighty, awful, darned; archaic exceeding. ANTONYMS slightly. ▶adjective 1 those were his very words: exact, actual, precise. 2 the very thought of food made her feel ill: mere, simple, pure; sheer. WORD NOTE very Early on we are taught to be leery of very and similar intensives (exceptionally, especially ). Indeed, if writers had to do without one of the eight parts of speech, the adverbs would probably be least missed. Yet very is among the few words that gains in effectiveness when repeated. There was definitely something moving around the darkened room. Frightened, Mildred turned the doorknob very, very quietly. The doubling of very slows the sentence down, and conveys a more palpable sense of Mildred's trepidation. Nevertheless, be very, very cautious about using this common adverb, and do so only after thinking twice. — MD Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
