hypothesis
Term: hypothesis
Origin: ????????/hypothesis (=assumption)
???/hypo(=under) + ?????/thesis(=point, proposition) > verb ??????/tithimi(=set, put, to place)
Coined: since 1596, from Middle French ?hypothese?
Definition:
An assumption made for the sake of argument
Comments:
The term "hypothesis" has different meaning from the term "theory" although they often used synonymously. The main difference between a theory and a hypothesis is that theory predicts events in general terms and it is generally accepted while a hypothesis makes a specific prediction that has yet to be tested. One definition of a theory would be that it is an accepted hypothesis.
