   a placing under, a substitution, fr. supponere, suppositium,
   to put under, to substitute. The word has the meaning
   corresponding to suppose. See {Sub-}, and {Position}.]

      considering as true or existing, what is known not to be
      true, or what is not proved.

   2. That which is supposed; hypothesis; conjecture; surmise;
      opinion or belief without sufficient evidence.

            This is only an infallibility upon supposition that
            if a thing be true, it is imposible to be false.
