hypothetical
含义: Based on or involving a supposition or assumed scenario rather than established fact; imagined or theoretical.
Hypothetical is used to describe situations, questions, or scenarios that are imagined for the purpose of argument or discussion. It commonly collocates with 'question,' 'scenario,' 'situation,' and 'example.' In academic and legal contexts, hypothetical reasoning is a standard analytical tool, whilst in everyday conversation it often introduces thought experiments or speculative possibilities.
