The term "qualify" is employed in literature with a remarkable versatility, serving both to moderate language and to establish standards of capability or suitability. For instance, in Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe, the Templar uses the term to temper his speech and soften what might otherwise be perceived as a threat [1]. In other works, "qualify" signals the meeting of specific criteria or preparation for a role or task, as seen in contexts ranging from the requirements for ministry or academic degrees [2, 3] to the adjustments necessary to fit a prescribed image or mission [4]. Additionally, the term is sometimes used more emphatically, suggesting that certain conditions must be met before an action or judgment can follow [5, 6, 7]. This varied employment reveals how authors use "qualify" not only as a descriptor of requirements but also as a tool to nuance or restrict the extent of a claim, whether in discourse, character development, or the establishment of social norms [8, 9, 10].
