competence
Skill for tasks
Competence means adequate ability, and is somewhat related to the idea of skill: By passing the exam, she demonstrated competence in math.
Competence in a language suggests an ability to understand or speak it, but without the suggestion of outstanding ability.
If you question the competence of an authority or expert, you are suggesting that they may not have the necessary knowledge, skill, or ability to perform adequately.
