firmitas: gravitas (of arguments): auctoritas. Usually by circumlocution with adjective or verb; e.g. to give validity to a law efficere ut lex valeat. To give validity to anything aliquid ratum facere or ratum esse jubere: to destroy the validity of anything aliquid irritum esse jubere (Cic.; e.g. testamentum).
