Definition
Reputable describes someone or something that is considered honest, reliable, and well-respected. People trust reputable sources, businesses, or professionals.
Etymology
From Latin *reputare* meaning 'to think over or consider', which led to *reputation* and then *reputable*. The word grew out of the idea of how people repeatedly think and talk about a person or group.
Kelly Says
Reputable depends on other people’s minds—it's really about what a community keeps thinking and saying about you over time. A single scandal can damage a reputation, which shows how fragile this social 'credit score' can be.
