THAT’S WHYEdebiyat
There are days
hours
moments in which I surrender

Two thousand years ago the Romans had the word probabilis . If something was probabilis then it could be proved by experiment , because the two words come from the same root: probare .

Roman lawyers would claim that their case was probabilis , when it wasn’t. Roman astrologers would say that their predictions were probabilis when they weren’t. So by the time poor probably first turned up in English in 1387 it was already a poor, exhausted word whose best days were behind it, and only meant likely .
