Ambiguity
Ambiguity is a type of
uncertainty of
meaning in which several interpretations are . It is thus an attribute of any idea or statement whose
intended meaning cannot be definitively resolved according to a rule or process with a finite number of steps. (The
- part of the name reflects an idea of "
two" as in two meanings.)
