Etymology of SUPPOSING

The word "supposing" comes from the Middle English verb "supposen", which is derived from the Old French verb "supposer". In turn, "supposer" is derived from the Latin verb "supponere", which combines the prefix "sub-" meaning "under" and the verb "ponere" meaning "to put". The literal meaning of "supposer" in Old French was "to assume", "to place under", or "to put forward". Over time, this evolved into the meaning of "supposing" as we use it today, which is to assume or imagine something to be true.
