repetibilis

Repetibilis is a Latin adjective meaning capable of being repeated. It describes processes, experiments, or results that can be performed again under the same conditions to yield the same outcome. The form is built from repetere, "to repeat," plus the suffix -ibilis, used in Latin to form adjectives meaning "able to be" or "worthy of."

In modern scientific language, the closest English equivalents are "repeatable" and, in some contexts, "reproducible." The term "repeatable" is used to describe the degree to which a measurement can be repeated by the same observer using the same equipment and procedures. "Reproducible" more often refers to independent replication by others under different conditions. While repetibilis itself is not a standard English term, it appears in Latin texts and in multilingual glossaries as a direct descriptor of repeatability.

Usage of the term reflects broader discussions of reliability in measurement, experimental design, and data analysis. In those fields, precision about what constitutes repeatability versus reproducibility helps clarify how results are evaluated and reported. Repetibilis, therefore, serves as a historical or cross-linguistic term that echoes the modern concepts of repeatability and reproducibility.
