Hypo यानी नीचे (जैसे hypodermic, त्वचा के नीचे) और thesis यानी कथन। Hypothesis वह कथन है जिसे test के नीचे रखा गया — एक अनुमान जो अभी साबित होना है।

Hypo means under, as in hypodermic (under the skin), and a thesis is a statement. A hypothesis is a statement placed under the test, a tentative idea that waits to be proved.

Exam note

Options में hypothesis के साथ theory, axiom (स्वयंसिद्ध) और theorem (प्रमेय) आते हैं। Plural hypotheses है।

Options often set hypothesis against theory, axiom (a self-evident truth) and theorem (a proved statement). The plural is hypotheses.
