plausibility
Where it comes from
Borrowed from New Latin plausibilitās.
noun plausibilities
- The quality of deserving applause, praiseworthiness; something worthy of praise. integrity, fidelity, and other gracious plausibilities
- The appearance of truth, especially when deceptive; speciousness. Plausibility, I know, can only be unmasked by shewing the absurdities it glosses over, and the simple truths it involves with specious errors.
- A plausible statement, argument etc. She too must shimmer through the gloom o' the grave, / Come and confront me— […] / Striking me dumb, and helping her to speak, / Tell her own story her own way, and turn / My plausibility to nothingness!
- The fact of being believable; believability, credibility. The question of the plausibility of the counter-factual is seen as key in all three discussions of allohistorical fiction (as it is in Demandt's and Ferguson's examinations of allohistory) (cf. Rodiek 25–26; Ritter 15–16; Helbig 32).
