The word "possible" generally means something that can be done, happen, or exist. It refers to a situation or action within the limits of ability or realization, something that may or may not occur or be true. It can also mean having potential or being capable of being achieved or realized. Here are some key meanings of "possible":
- Being within the limits of ability or capacity, e.g., a task that can be done though it might be difficult.
- Something that may or may not occur or be true, e.g., a possible surprise visit or explanation.
- Having an indicated potential to happen or exist, e.g., a possible housing site.
- Suitable or acceptable for a particular purpose, e.g., a possible candidate for a job.
In usage, "possible" often expresses that something is neither certain nor impossible but could occur or be true under the right conditions.
