Plausible
Origin: Lat. plausibĭlis
Judged to be reasonable because of its underlying assumptions, internal consistency and logical connection to reality. Plausibility is often used as a scenario validation criterion. Plausibility does not mean that a future situation will happen. It means that the events grounding a scenario can be logically connected leading to its outcome. The plausibility of a scenario is a subjective characterization by those engaging with the scenario.
Spanish: Plausible
