Answer

AXIOM

An axiom is a statement or proposition that is regarded as being established, accepted, or self evidently true. The word comes from Greek 'axios' meaning worthy. In mathematics and logic, axioms serve as starting points for deductive reasoning, forming the foundation from which other truths can be derived.
