Hypothesis

/haɪˈpɒθəsɪs/noun / verb
ELI5 mode

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon, based on limited evidence and serving as a foundation for further investigation or testing. In scientific contexts, it's a crucial step that must be falsifiable through experiments, but in everyday use, it often acts as an educated guess to spark curiosity and problem-solving.
