Conversation

I think we can agree that some things are true axiomatically in math.

Absolutely, like how the angles in a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.

Right! It's fascinating how those principles never change.

For sure, that's what makes math so reliable and consistent.

Root Explanation

Axiomatically → It is formed from "axioma" (from Greek ἀξίωμα, meaning something that is deemed worthy or self-evident) and the suffix "-atically" (meaning in a manner relating to). The word "axiomatically" means in a manner that is self-evident or universally accepted as true.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'self-evident' ('axioma') and how it is accepted 'in a manner' ('-atically'). This helps you remember that 'axiomatically' refers to something that is accepted as true without needing proof.
