Likelihood

n. probability, chance, feasibility, possibility

Likelihood as a solitary term is a shorthand for likelihood function. In non-technical usage, "likelihood" is a synonym for "probability", but throughout this article only the technical definition is used. Informally, if "probability" allows us to predict unknown outcomes based on known parameters, then "likelihood" allows us to determine unknown parameters based on known outcomes.
