सम्भवन

noun

सम्भवन meaning in English

Possibility, likelihood, or probability of an event occurring.

Detailed Explanation

The state or quality of being possible; the chance or probability that something may happen or exist. In Indian English contexts, it is often used in formal, literary, or philosophical discourse to denote the potentiality of an outcome rather than a guaranteed result.

📝 Cultural Context

This word is more formal and literary than the common Hindi word 'संभावना' (sambhavana). It is frequently encountered in legal, academic, and philosophical texts in India. In Indian English, it may be translated as 'possibility' or 'likelihood' depending on the context of certainty.
