How it's used
Refers to a settled decision or a definitive outcome that is no longer subject to debate. It is frequently used in formal or serious discussions to describe situations where evidence is still being weighed or opinions remain divided. Unlike casual decisions, this implies a sense of finality that closes the door on further argument.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 決定, which refers to a personal choice or decision. 定論 specifically describes the state of a conclusion being reached after a process of deliberation or investigation, rather than the act of making a choice.
