Root Explanation

Supposer is formed from "sub-" (meaning under) and "ponere" (meaning to place). The word originally conveys the idea of placing something under consideration or assumption.

Memory Tip

Think of placing an idea 'under' ('sub-') consideration — that's why 'supposer' means to assume or suppose something.
