The answer

The word "أثبت" (athbata) can be used to mean establishing the argument and proof for the affirmation or negation of something, as one of the meanings of "الثَبَت" (ath-thabat) is argument and proof. It is said: "أثبت حُجَّته" (athbata hujjatah), meaning he established and clarified his argument, and a "القول الثابت" (al-qawl ath-thabit) is the sound (correct) statement. "الإثبات" (al-ithbat) is the judgment of affirming something for another, and it refers to bringing something into existence (creation), and it may be used metaphorically to mean knowledge. "أثبت" is also used in the sense of verification and correction, and confirming truth with evidence and proof.
