assump

Assump is not a standalone term with a widely recognized definition in major dictionaries. In English, it is most commonly encountered as an abbreviation for the word “assumption.” It appears in marginal notes, glossaries, or shorthand within mathematical, logical, or scientific writing to indicate a stated premise, hypothesis, or condition under which a result holds. For example, a proof may label a line as “Assump. 1” to summarize an initial assumption.

The term derives from Latin assumpptio via English, and the shorter form “assump.” is convenient in technical writing, annotations, or dataset labels. It can also appear as a variable name or field in programming and data contexts to denote an assumed value or condition.

In religious contexts, the long form “Assumption” is used for doctrines such as the Assumption of Mary. The abbreviation “assump” itself is not a standard religious term, though it can occur as part of longer proper names in some languages (for example, as part of surnames like “Assumpção”). In general, usage of “assump” can be ambiguous; many publishers prefer spelling out “assumption” or using a style-guide–defined abbreviation.
