the appearance of being true or real
Satya's brown skin lent verisimilitude to the claim that she is foreign.

Friend 1: Ahh sheeeiiiiitttt, I forgot to do my homework!

Friend 2: Simply present your teacher some verisimilitude; make them believe that you accidentally left it at home.

verisimehlitude

A work of art so enslaved to the reality of its source that it elicits no response.
The sculptor had worked very hard to do this. His sculpture was exactly life-sized, colored and textured to precisely replicate the thing it was imitating, and, standing in the gallery, it looked like a living, breathing security guard. Except that it was not breathing, nor was it living, nor did anyone recognize it as a work of art. Or feel anything about it. Or pay it any mind. An example of craft for craft's sake, it had achieved a state of verisimehlitude.
