Axiom

What do we mean by axiom?

A self-evident or universally recognized truth; a maxim. noun

An established rule, principle, or law. noun

A self-evident principle or one that is accepted as true without proof as the basis for argument; a postulate. noun

One of those generalizations of ordinary experience which nobody doubts, and which are soon replaced by scientific formulations, which latter are also, but less properly, termed middle axioms. noun

A self-evident, undemonstrable, theoretical, and general proposition to which every one who apprehends its meaning must assent. noun

Any higher proposition, obtained by generalization and induction from the observation of individual instances; the enunciation of a general fact; an empirical law. noun

In logic, a proposition, whether true or false: a use of the term which originated with Zeno the Stoic. noun

A self-evident and necessary truth, or a proposition whose truth is so evident as first sight that no reasoning or demonstration can make it plainer; a proposition which it is necessary to take for granted; as, “The whole is greater than a part;” “A thing can not, at the same time, be and not be.” noun

An established principle in some art or science, which, though not a necessary truth, is universally received. noun

A seemingly self-evident or necessary truth which is based on assumption; a principle or proposition which cannot actually be proved or disproved. noun

A fundamental theorem that serves as a basis for deduction of other theorems. Examples: "Through a pair of distinct points there passes exactly one straight line", "All right angles are congruent". noun

An established principle in some artistic practice or science that is universally received. noun

(logic) a proposition that is not susceptible of proof or disproof; its truth is assumed to be self-evident noun

A saying that is widely accepted on its own merits noun

A seemingly self-evident or necessary truth which is based on assumption; a principle or proposition which cannot actually be proved or disproved.
