inferability

Meanings

1. 1
   noun

   the quality of being capable of being inferred or deduced from available evidence

   The inferability of the later result from the earlier measurements is central to the argument.

Formed from inferable + -ity, literally the state of being able to be inferred. Infer comes from Latin inferre ("to bring in; adduce"), from in- + ferre ("to carry"). The historical variant inferribility instead uses the less common adjective inferrible.
