AXIOM

What axiom means

A statement or principle that is widely accepted as true without needing to be proven, often serving as a foundation for further reasoning or argument.

Where the word comes from

From Greek *axioma*, meaning "that which is thought worthy" or "a self-evident principle," derived from *axios*, meaning "worthy" or "of weight." The word entered Latin as *axioma*, then Old French as *axiome*, and finally Middle English. In logic and mathematics, an axiom became a fundamental truth requiring no proof.
