Etymology: "Indubitabilities" is simply the plural of "indubitability," the noun for the quality of being beyond doubt. The base is "indubitable," which comes from Latin "indubitabilis," built from the negative prefix "in-" ("not") and "dubitabilis," "doubtful," itself from "dubitare," "to doubt." English took the adjective first, and the noun was formed from it by adding the suffix "-ity," which turns adjectives into nouns of quality. The plural form appears when people speak of several distinct certainties or categories of proof at once, each of them unquestionable in its own way. Its meaning therefore sits directly on the Latin roots: a thing that cannot be doubted, multiplied into many such things.

Synonyms: certainties, assuredness, convictions, truths, facts
