Etymology

The word 'thesis' originated from the Greek word 'thesis' meaning 'a proposition.' In ancient Greece, a thesis was a philosophical proposition, and the term evolved to refer to an intellectual proposition in general. The modern academic sense of thesis as a research paper stems from the 14th century when universities started requiring students to submit extensive written works as part of their education.
