deducibility

Meanings

1. 1
   noun

   the property of being logically derivable from stated premises, axioms, or other accepted propositions

   Formal deducibility requires a valid sequence of inference steps from the axioms to the theorem.

Formed from deducible + -ity. Deducible comes from Latin deducere ("to lead down or away; derive"), from de- + ducere ("to lead"). Its logical sense treats a conclusion as something that can be led out from premises by valid rules.
