Indiscutible

Indiscutible is a Spanish adjective meaning that something cannot be debated, questioned, or denied; it denotes certainty and undeniability. It is commonly used to describe facts, evidence, conclusions, or statements considered beyond reasonable doubt. In English, the closest equivalents are indisputable, unquestionable, and undisputed.

Etymology: The term derives from the prefix in- meaning not and the adjective discutible (debatable), from Latin discutibilis, itself from discutere "to discuss." The form indiscutible therefore conveys "not subject to discussion."

Usage: Indiscutible is used across formal and informal registers to stress a lack of credible counterarguments. In journalism, science, and law, it can introduce a conclusion built on strong evidence. It is close in meaning to irrefutable, incontestable, or innegable, though each term carries slightly different nuance; versus discutible, which denotes something open to doubt or debate.

Examples: La evidencia presentada es indiscutible. Es indiscutible que el equipo ganó el campeonato. Consideraron su autoridad indiscutible en la materia.
