All I have found about this word is that it appears to be define in 17th century dictionaries (1) (2) as 'to make stronger' but ir- from im- is a negation of roboro, the latin which means strengthen (which can be seen in corroborate). Aside from an 1864 Welsh dictionary which gives a translation of irroborate, there are no modern examples of this which aren't actually misidentified versions of corroborate. I suppose this is just an archaic or obsolete word now. 69.206.141.250 01:20, 7 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
