Definition
确凿 (què záo) means 'conclusive, irrefutable' and is used specifically for evidence, facts, or records proven beyond doubt. It is more formal and focused on legal/evidential certainty than 确定 (definite/certain) or 明确 (clear-cut), and unlike 地道/正宗 (authentic), it emphasizes irrefutability rather than genuineness of origin.
