Evincible

/ɪˈvɪnsɪbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be shown, demonstrated, or proven; capable of being made evident.

Etymology

From Latin 'evincere' plus the suffix '-ible,' following the pattern of 'possible' and 'tangible.' This adjective form appeared in English legal and philosophical texts.

Kelly Says

The '-ible' suffix (related to '-able') creates adjectives meaning 'capable of being'—so 'evincible' means something can definitely be proved or shown, which is useful in debates and scientific writing.
