Hi folks, Is the verb 'posit' (to suggest something as a basic fact or principle from which a further idea is formed or developed) actually used in day to day English or news or wherever? Since I've started using ChatGPT to help me with my writing I've seen it twice if not three times. I don't think I've come across this word as a verb ever before. Thanks once more 🙂 Have a great evening!

It is commonly used by certain people. Most people do not use it. But among people who work with ideas, intellectuals, scientists, etc., absolutely!

Maybe in a lecture or formal discussion. In common speech I'd say almost never.

Short answer, no. My guess is that it's about as common as the verb "postular" in Spanish. Possibly in more use in some academic circles. Having said that, I just took a look at youglish, which would suggest I may be underestimating its use. Are you familiar with youglish? Great tool.

I’d have thought was more common as a verb than a noun. It’s use comes from the fact that it’s precise- it’s an assumption that we know needs to be proven.
