A truth without a truthmaker is like a cake without a baker,

Where does the truthmaker come from?

 
An analytic truthmaker is any expression of language derived from
expressions that are stipulated to be true. These are usually the
definitions providing the semantic meanings of terms.

So “truthmaker” is a matter of definition? A set of “axioms of truth”, if
you like?
