The phrase "to reject an assumption" combines the verb "reject," which comes from Latin 'reiectus,' meaning 'thrown back,' and "assumption," derived from Latin 'assumptio,' meaning 'taking up' or 'supposition.' Did you know? The word "assumption" originally referred to the act of taking something up, but now it commonly means a belief accepted without proof.
