Bonus Point
Disputable means capable of being disputed; open to question or debate. In earlier centuries, the word ‘disputable’ was often used in legal and academic contexts to describe points that could be argued or debated. Over time, it has expanded to more general usage, describing anything that is not certain or is open to question.
Fun with the Word
Understanding the word disputable involves recognizing its Latin roots, its use in various contexts to describe something open to debate or question, and its related forms and synonyms that enrich its meaning. It comes from the Latin word ‘disputare’ meaning to examine, discuss or debate. This, in turn, is derived from ‘dis-‘ meaning "apart" and ‘putare’ meaning "to reckon, consider."
