Description

Imagine a detective solving a case with clear, solid evidence: the culprit is indisputably guilty. This word describes something so certain and so well supported that people cannot seriously argue against it. It fits facts, results, or truths that are beyond real doubt. You might say a mathematical theorem is indisputably true, or that she was indisputably the best player in the match. It is stronger than "probably" or even "certainly" because it suggests that the evidence is so strong that disagreement does not hold up.
