Etymology
The word sincerity comes from the old Latin word sincerus, meaning 'pure' or 'genuine', and it is the same root as the modern word sincere. A helpful way to remember it is the old story of potters selling vases 'without wax' (sine cera) so the pots were not hidden or fixed, so sincerity means being honest and not pretending.
