Word origin

The word 'inferable' is derived from the verb 'infer,' which comes from the Latin word 'inferre,' meaning 'to bring in, bring forward.' The suffix '-able' is added to 'infer' to create 'inferable,' indicating the ability to be inferred or deduced. The concept of inference has long been a fundamental aspect of logic, reasoning, and statistical analysis.
