Word origin
The word 'plausible' originated from the Latin word 'plausibilis', meaning worthy of applause. The term evolved in the 16th century to describe something that is worthy of belief or acceptance. Over time, 'plausible' has come to signify something that is seemingly reasonable or convincing, whether in logical reasoning or as an excuse.
