qualification
Proof of ability
Qualification is what makes someone eligible or suitable for something—the credentials, skills, or requirements that must be met: She has the qualifications for the job, What are the qualifications for this position?
A qualification can also be a limiting condition or reservation that softens a statement: He praised the proposal, but with qualifications.
To say something without qualification is to say it absolutely, holding nothing back.
