(Intro & piano music)
There are some Greek words that the original meaning has been almost lost except for the occasional one that is used for this one specific thing and of course, it's only in Greek. So, υπό is a preposition meaning 'under' . Θέση means 'position'. The combined word originally meant 'placing something under' but in philosophy and , later, science, the word came to mean 'supposition' . Since that wider use in the 1600's, the world only knows that one meaning (for our Greek listeners υποθήκη is the one that's kept the original meaning). ΥΠΟΘΕΣΗ/HYPOTHESIS
