How these synonyms differ
- conceivable - 'Conceivable' pushes possibility to its outer edge, you can imagine it happening, but just barely. It's possibility at arm's length.
- feasible - 'Feasible' means possible and practical, not just theoretically doable but realistic given actual constraints like time, money, and skill.
- likely - 'Likely' shifts from capability to probability, something possible might not happen, but something likely probably will.
- plausible - 'Plausible' means possible and believable, a plausible explanation is one that could reasonably be true, even if you're not sure it is.
- viable - 'Viable' adds sustainability, a viable plan isn't just possible in theory but capable of actually working and surviving.
