释义

certituden.

/ˈsəːtɪtjuːd/
Etymology: < French certitude certainty, objective or subjective < late Latin certitūdinem (in S. Gregory, Boethius, etc.), < Latin certus certain.
1.
a. Subjective certainty; the state of being certain or sure of anything; assured conviction of the mind that the facts are so and so; absence of doubt or hesitation; assurance, confidence. (There has been a growing tendency since the time of Hobbes to restrict the word to this sense; which, though not etymologically founded, is practically useful.)
