verisimilar

verisimilar - adj., appearing to be true or real; probable.


Compare with yesterday's word. Useful in reviews of the latest models of holodecks, or will be. In use since the 1680s, from Latin vērīsimilis, from vērī, genative of vērum, truth + similis, like.

Meant to mention, I'm off for the rest of the week, and since I won't have access to my cubicle whiteboard, I won't be back till Monday. Have a happy holiday, y'all!
