[Middle English douten, from Old French douter, from Latin dubitāre, to waver.]

doubtʹer noun

Usage Note: Doubt and doubtful may be followed by clauses introduced by that, whether, or if. The choice among these three is partly guided by the intended meaning of the sentence but is not cast in stone. Whether normally introduces an indirect question and is therefore the traditional choice when the subject is in a state of genuine uncertainty about alternative possibilities: Sue has studied so much philosophy this year that she's begun to doubt whether she exists. At one time it was doubtful whether the company could recover from its financial difficulties, but the government loan seems to have helped. On the other hand, that is the choice when doubt is being used as an understated way of expressing disbelief: I doubt that we've seen the last of that problem (with the meaning "I think we haven't seen the last . . . dquo;). That is also the usual choice when the truth of the clause following doubt is assumed, as in negative sentences and questions. Thus I never doubted for a minute that I would be rescued implies "I was certain that I would be rescued." By the same token, Do you doubt that you will be paid? seems to pose a rhetorical question ("Surely you believe that you will be paid"), whereas Do you doubt whether you will be paid? may express a genuine request for information and might be followed by because if you do, you should make the client post a bond. In other cases, however, this distinction between whether and that is not always observed, and that is frequently used as a substitute for whether. If may also be used as a substitute for whether but is more informal in tone. In informal speech the clause following doubt is sometimes introduced with but: I don't doubt but (or but what) he will come. Reputable precedent exists for this construction, as in "I do not doubt but England is at present as polite a Nation as any in the World" (Richard Steele), but modern critics sometimes object to its use in formal writing.
