propound
含义: To put forward a theory, argument, or point of view for consideration by others.
Propound is a distinctly formal verb, most at home in legal, philosophical, and academic writing. It implies that the idea being presented is substantial and merits serious attention — one propounds a thesis, not a casual opinion. In legal contexts, 'to propound a will' means to submit it for probate. It is rarer in everyday speech and lends a weighty, authoritative tone.
