Oprindelse

Ordet plausible stammer fra det latinske ordet plausibilis, som betyr verdt å applaudere eller godkjennelse. Dette kommer igjen fra verbet plaudere, som betyr å applaudere eller å gi bifall. Dermed refererer plausible til noe som er troverdig, sannsynlig eller overbevisende nok til å bli akseptert eller bifalt.
