The quality or state of being able to be contested, disputed, or challenged.
From 'contestable' + the suffix '-ity,' forming an abstract noun. 'Contestable' derives from 'contest,' which comes from Latin 'contestari' (con- + testis, witness)—originally meaning 'to call to witness.'
In law and insurance, 'contestability' is crucial—there's often a limited period during which a claim can be contested; after that, it becomes incontestable, shifting legal power entirely!
