USAGE
The use of feasible to mean 'likely' or 'probable', as in the most feasible explanation, has been in the language for centuries. It was first recorded in the mid 17th century and is supported by 'considerable literary authority', according to the Oxford English Dictionary. However, traditionalists object to the use, regarding it as not justifiable on etymological grounds, and it is therefore advisable to avoid it in formal contexts.
