Yes! I was having a conversation with someone today who wanted a fancy Greek word for a particular sort of engagement with ideas, and I kept coming back to "But in Greek, all these words meant very basic things, and we grabbed a single metaphorical subset of those concepts to mean this specific technical concept." We ended up essentially reinventing the etymology of "hypothesis" about three times, because it ends up meaning something so simple. To set beneath => to construct the foundation of a building => the beginning idea you start from to develop further ideas.
