Meanings
adverbdefeasibly (not comparable)
- not comparableIn a defeasible manner; subject to being defeated or invalidated.
As is common practice in psychology, where a term is used univocally (‘bald’, ‘consciousness’), it can be assumed (defeasibly) that individual differences in the associated conceptions of competent users of the term can be abstracted away from, and commonalities studied.
