conjecturable

Able to theorize

Conjecturable describes something that can be guessed at or inferred without proof.

If a conclusion is conjecturable, there's enough circumstantial evidence to form a reasonable hypothesis: The killer's motive is conjecturable from the victim's diary entries.

The word appears mainly in academic or formal contexts.
