Plausible

Plausible (plausible)
a.	(?)
Plau"si*ble
[L. plausibilis praiseworthy, from plaudere, plausum, to applaud, clap the hands, strike, beat.]

Worthy of being applauded; praiseworthy; commendable; ready.

[Obs.] Bp. Hacket.

Obtaining approbation; specifically pleasing; apparently right; specious; as, a plausible pretext; plausible manners; a plausible delusion.

"Plausible and popular arguments." Clarendon.

Using specious arguments or discourse; as, a plausible speaker.

Syn. -- Plausible, Specious. Plausible denotes that which seems reasonable, yet leaves distrust in the judgment. Specious describes that which presents a fair appearance to the view and yet covers something false. Specious refers more definitely to the act or purpose of false representation; plausible has more reference to the effect on the beholder or hearer. An argument may by specious when it is not plausible because its sophistry is so easily discovered.
