单词 inferable
释义

inferableinferibleadj.

/ɪnˈfəːrəb(ə)l//ˈɪnfərɪb(ə)l/
Forms: See also inferrible adj.
Etymology: < infer v., on the pattern of preferable , referable , from the corresponding French words; but there is no French inférable ; Latin analogy would require inferible ; both Latin and French analogy, with the example of preferable , referable , transferable , require the stress to be on the first syllable; the pronunciation /ɪnˈfɜːrəb(ə)l/, which is that of most dictionaries, would require the spelling inferrable : see inferrible adj.
That may be inferred or drawn as a conclusion; deducible.
ΘΚΠ
the mind > mental capacity > understanding > reason, faculty of reasoning > process of reasoning, ratiocination > process of inferring, inference > [adjective] > that may be inferred
