Word of the Day

postulate
\PAHSS-chuh-layt\
verb

demand, claim



to assume or claim as true, existent, or necessary

to assume as an established truth (as in logic or mathematics)

Example Sentence
"If we postulate that the doors were all securely guarded," said the detective, "then the perpetrator must have been somebody who was already in the building." In 1703, the dedication of the City and County Purchaser and Builders Dictionary included the following words: "These your extraordinary Favours … seem to Postulate from me … a Publick Recognition." That's also how the verb "postulate" was used when English speakers first began using it back in the late 1500s, as a synonym of "require" or "demand." (The word's Latin grandparent, "postulare," has the same meaning.) "Postulate" was also used as a noun in the late 1500s, with the meaning "demand" or "stipulation." That sense is now considered archaic, but we still use the noun "postulate." Today, it usually means "a hypothesis advanced as an essential presupposition, condition, or premise of a train of reasoning."

*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.
Quote of the Day

When thou findest sensibility of heart, joined with softness of manners, an accomplished mind, with a form agreeable to thy fancy, take her home to thy house; she is worthy to be thy friend, thy companion in life, the wife of thy bosom.
