Well, let's be precise, something you seem to have a lot of trouble
with. "Veridican" is a made-up word. Now, there's nothing wrong with
made-up words in general. Pandemonium is a great one. Tintinnabulation
is too. Based on its apparent derivation (root) and structure,
veridican most closely approximates an adjectival form for "truth-
speaking," from the Latin veridicus, with your "veridican" being a
permutation of that. Veritas is truth.

It is also, unfortunately, awfully close to veridian/viridian, which
simply means "green." So if you were offshore in your Mac and ran into
some hellacious green water you could call it "veridican veridian" as
you prayed to your deity while rolling over and over and over...
