Etymology
The word 'conjecture' originated from the Latin word 'conjectura', meaning 'a throwing together, inference'. The term first appeared in English in the 16th century, initially used in mathematical contexts to denote a conclusion reached by guesswork or incomplete information. Over time, its usage has expanded to encompass general opinions or suppositions based on limited evidence.
