Explicability

/ˌɛksplɪkəˈbɪləti/ noun

Definition

The quality of being able to be explained clearly and understandably.

Etymology

From explicable + -ity suffix. Explicable comes from Latin explicare (to unfold/explain), and -ity creates an abstract noun expressing a quality.

Kelly Says

Philosophers love this word because it touches on a deep question: are all things in the universe ultimately explicable, or do some mysteries resist explanation forever?
