Sine qua non (/ˌsaɪnikweɪˈnɒn,ˌsɪnikwɑːˈnoʊn/,[1]Latin:[ˈsɪnɛkʷaːˈnoːn]) or conditio sine qua non (plural: conditiones sine quibus non) is an indispensable and essential action, condition, or ingredient. It was originally a Latin legal term for "[a condition] without which it could not be", "but for...", or "without which [there is] nothing." Also, "sine qua non causation" is the formal terminology for "but-for causation."
