hypothesis (plural hypotheses)
noun.
(1.) something put forward as being true which is taken as a useful starting point for a discussion or scientific investigation.
(2.) a mere assumption or guess.
verb - hypothesise adjective - hypothetical .
Thesaurus results: conditionality, conjecture, logicality
Spelling Tip: The spelling of this word will be easier iof you think of it as being made up of two parts, hypo- and thesis, even though you do not say it this way. The prefix hypo- means ‘under’ or ‘less’ and thesis is a theory or idea. This links to the meaning of hypothesis in that it is a theory without complete evidence and so needs to be tested.
Sentence use. How can I prove or disprove the hypothesis that Stonehenge was built by aliens, and if so why did they come to the Earth and build it?
