Definitions

  1. of a proposition; necessarily true or logically certain

Word origin

From the Latin apodīcticus (“proving clearly”, “demonstrative”), from the Ancient Greek ἀποδεικτικός (apodeiktikós, “affording proof”, “demonstrative”), from ἀποδείκνυμι (apodeíknumi, “to demonstrate”). In turn, from ἀπο- (apo-, “separate, without”), and δεικτικός (deiktikós, “capable of proof”).

Used in a sentence

  • No religion has ever yet owed its prevalence to ‘apodictic certainty’.
