[ 1913 Webster] 2. Obtaining approbation; specifically pleasing; apparently right; specious; as, a plausible pretext; plausible manners; a plausible delusion. " Plausible and popular arguments." -- Clarendon. [ 1913 Webster] 3. Using specious arguments or discourse; as, a plausible speaker. [ 1913 Webster] [ 1913 Webster] Syn: { Plausible}, { Specious}. Usage: Plausible denotes that which seems reasonable, yet leaves distrust in the judgment. Specious describes that which presents a fair appearance to the view and yet covers something false. Specious refers more definitely to the act or purpose of false representation; plausible has more reference to the effect on the beholder or hearer. An argument may by specious when it is not plausible because its sophistry is so easily discovered.
