corresponding in meaning to L. supponere, suppositum, to put under, to

self, or state to another, not as true or real, but as if so, and with
a view to some consequence or application which the reality would
involve or admit of; to imagine or admit to exist, for the sake of
argument or illustration; to assume to be true; as, let us suppose the
