Word origin

The word 'assumed' originated from the Latin word 'assumere', which means 'to take upon oneself'. Over time, the word evolved in English to encompass the meanings of 'suppose' and 'adopt'.

The word has been commonly used in literature, philosophy, and everyday conversation to convey the act of presuming or taking on a role.
