The term 'affirmed' is often used to denote that something has been confirmed or validated as true, correct, or effective. It is commonly used in legal, formal, or official contexts to indicate that an assertion, decision, or ruling has been agreed upon and stands affirmed. For example, when a higher court upholds a lower court's decision, it is said to have 'affirmed' that decision. It signifies a ratification process where the given subject is reinforced as credible or officially accepted.
