conclusiveness
Quality of settling
Conclusiveness is the quality of settling a matter definitively.
Evidence with conclusiveness leaves no room for doubt; an argument with conclusiveness ends debate.
The word appears most often in legal and academic contexts: The conclusiveness of the DNA evidence convinced the jury.
Something lacking conclusiveness remains open to question.
