conclusiveness

/kənˈkɫusɪvnəs/ noun

the state of being conclusive

Word Origin Conclusiveness is the quality of being conclusive — shutting the case together. From Latin claudere 'to shut,' which gives us conclude (shut together), include (shut in), exclude (shut out), and even recluse (shut away). The -ive suffix means 'tending to,' so conclusive is 'tending to shut together.' The PIE root *klau- meant 'to close,' and you can see it in words like 'clause' and 'cloister.'
