          “Dubious” derives from the Latin verb “dubare,” meaning “to hesitate 
in choice of opinions or courses,” and it is related to the Latin word for 
“two”: “duo.” “Dubious” can be used to indicate uncertainty about the result of 
an action or the truth of a statement as well as about the uncertainty of a 
person and his or her character. In either case, it usually implies a feeling 
of doubt from suspicion, mistrust, or hesitation.
