Plausible \Plau"si*ble\, a. [L. plausibilis praiseworthy, from
plaudere, plausum, to applaud, clap the hands, strike, beat.]
1. Worthy of being applauded; praiseworthy; commendable;
ready. [Obs.] --Bp. Hacket.
[1913 Webster]
2. Obtaining approbation; specifically pleasing; apparently
right; specious; as, a plausible pretext; plausible
manners; a plausible delusion. "Plausible and popular
arguments." --Clarendon.
[1913 Webster]
3. Using specious arguments or discourse; as, a plausible
speaker.
[1913 Webster]
[1913 Webster]
Syn: {Plausible}, {Specious}.
Usage: Plausible denotes that which seems reasonable, yet
leaves distrust in the judgment. Specious describes
that which presents a fair appearance to the view and
yet covers something false. Specious refers more
definitely to the act or purpose of false
representation; plausible has more reference to the
effect on the beholder or hearer. An argument may by
specious when it is not plausible because its
sophistry is so easily discovered.
[1913 Webster]

adj 1: apparently reasonable and valid, and truthful; "a
