AFFIRMA'TION, n.
1. The act of affirming or asserting as true; opposed to negation or denial.2. That which is asserted; position declared as true; averment.3. Confirmation; ratification; an establishing of what had been before done or decreed.4.
A solemn declaration made under the penalties of perjury, by persons
who conscientiously decline taking an oath; which affirmation is in law
equivalent to testimony given under oath.
An oath is a sworn affirmation to be true and faithful to one’s
promises. A covenant is a solemn promise between two parties. The
Aaronic Priesthood is received by covenant alone. Melchizedek Priesthood
holders receive the priesthood by unspoken oath as well as by covenant.
As priesthood holders are faithful and magnify their callings as God
directs, he blesses them. Those who are faithful to the end and do all
he asks of them will receive all that the Father has (D&C 84:33–39).
The
ancient record thus brought forth from the earth as the voice of a
people speaking from the dust, and translated into modern speech by the
gift and power of God as attested by Divine affirmation, was first published to the world in the year 1830 as The Book of Mormon.

Success is a process, a quality of mind and way of being, an outgoing affirmation of life. Alex Noble
Every sentence I utter must be understood not as an affirmation, but as a question. Niels Bohr
Personal Deffinition:
I think an Affirmation is like a declaration made true. Like someone said something and then they affirmed it, or made it true, and then it was.
I think it means something made true. Like a confirmed statement.
