Characterized by doubt or hesitation; doubting or uncertain in manner.
From Latin 'dubitans,' the present participle of 'dubitare' (to doubt, to waver). Used as an adjective to describe someone or something expressing doubt.
This archaic adjective appears in old philosophy texts to describe a person's mental state—someone 'dubitant' is actively in the process of doubting, not just skeptical about a fact.
