A statement or fact tending to produce belief concerning a matter in doubt; a premise or premises set forth in order to prove an assumption or conclusion. noun

This, the familiar meaning of the word, probably originated in Roman law-courts. The usual definition given by Cicero and almost all authorities is ratio rei dubiœ faciens fidem, a reason causing belief of a doubtful matter. Boëtius in one place defines it as a medium proving a conclusion. The word medium here means a premise, or premises, according to all the commentators. (Petrus Hisp., tr. v. ad init.) But since medium usually means the middle term of a syllogism, some logicians have been led to give argument this signification. noun

Urban Dictionary

A verbal disagreement between 2 (or more) people, in which each person attempts to convince the other that they are correct. Usually results in neither person changing their view on the matter, which begs the question: What purpose does it serve to have an argument when you know you won't change their opinion, and they know you won't change yours?
