jósolható

Jósolható is a Hungarian adjective meaning "able to be predicted" or "predictable." It describes phenomena, outcomes, or data that can be forecast based on established models, data, or laws. The form is derived from the verb jósol (to predict) plus the suffix -ható, which marks possibility or capability. The word is related to jóslás (divination) and to the broader concept of predictability.

Usage: Jósolható is used in science, engineering, economics, and everyday language to indicate forecastability. For example, meteorological models yield jósolható trends in weather patterns; statistical models produce jósolható values with associated uncertainty. It is commonly contrasted with véletlenszerű or kiszámíthatatlan, meaning unpredictable or random. The degree of jósolhatóság depends on model quality, data availability, and the inherent complexity of the system.

Limitations: even when a process is well understood, predictions may be imperfect due to measurement error, model misspecification, or intrinsic randomness. The adjective does not guarantee certainty; it signals that forecasts are possible to some degree.

Etymology: From jósol, "to predict," with the suffix -ható; the root is historically connected with jóslás, divination or prophecy.
