A quick definition of acknowledge:

Acknowledge: To say that something is true or exists. It can also mean to confirm who you are or that you received something. When someone acknowledges something, they are accepting responsibility for it. For example, a parent might acknowledge their child as their own, or someone might acknowledge that they owe money to someone else.

A more thorough explanation:

Acknowledge means to accept, recognize, confirm, or admit the existence or truth of something. It can also mean to validate an identity or claim, authenticate a document or writing, recognize an individual as one's heir, recognize receipt of a document or payment, or accept responsibility for something.

  • An "acknowledged child" is a child that a parent recognizes as their own.
  • An "acknowledged heir" is an heir recognized by a decedent while they were alive.
  • An "acknowledged deed" is a deed recognized as authentic and true by a formal statement that is witnessed.
  • An "acknowledged payment" is a payment made by an authorized person that has been successfully received.
  • An "acknowledged debt" is a debt that has been recognized by the debtor as owed to the lender.

For example, if a father acknowledges a child as his own, he is accepting and recognizing that the child is his biological offspring. If a person acknowledges a debt, they are admitting that they owe money to someone else. In each of these examples, the person is acknowledging the existence or truth of something.
