witnesseth
إقرار


Explanation:
This is an archic term used in contracts meaning
(witnesseth Legal jargon meaning "take notice of" used in phrases such as "I hereby witnesseth the signing of this document.")
This title is usually given to recitals following the introductory clause and preceding the body of the contract. It is the remnant of a longer phrase, such as This document witnesseth that.

witnesseth
شهد


Explanation:
This is the past tense of "TO WITNESS", in the old style of English. Modern English forms the past tense by adding "ED" at the end of regular verbs.
