Strong enough to close the question: after seeing it, you have no room left to doubt.

「把懷疑推倒的力道」:東西擺在你面前,理由夠強、證據夠足,你原本留著的那一點「可是……」被壓掉了,問題就這樣關上。重更多收起「把懷疑推倒的力道」:東西擺在你面前,理由夠強、證據夠足,你原本留著的那一點「可是……」被壓掉了,問題就這樣關上。重點在於它是從你這一邊看出去的——不是它本身多真,而是它強到讓你沒有懷疑的空間。

From the word’s history

From convince, from Latin convincō (com- + vincō "to overcome, conquer") — literally to defeat someone's doubt or denial.

來自 convince,源頭是拉丁文 convincō:com- 加上 vincō「戰勝、打倒」。字面就是「把對方的否認打倒」。這個「打倒」的味道一直留在現代用法裡——所以你會發現這個字既能講理由強到讓人心服,也能講球隊贏得毫無懸念,兩邊都是同一種「壓過去、沒得爭」的力道。
