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 modern usage of 'assumed' reflects the idea of taking something for granted or undertaking responsibility without explicit proof. The word has been commonly used in literature, philosophy, and everyday conversation to convey the act of presuming or taking on a role.
