Origin

Late Middle English (in the senses 'to divine' and 'divination'): from Old French, or from Latin conjectura, from conicere 'put together in thought', from con- 'together' + jacere 'throw'.

jet from late 16th century:
The name jet for a hard black semi-precious mineral comes ultimately from the Greek word gagatēs ‘from Gagai’, a town in Asia Minor. When we refer to a jet of water or gas, or a jet aircraft, we are using a quite different word. It comes from a late 16th-century verb meaning ‘to jut out’, from French jeter ‘to throw’, which goes back to the Latin jacere ‘to throw’. Jut (mid 16th century) is a variant of jet in this sense. Jacere is found in a large number of English words including abject (Late Middle English) literally ‘thrown away’; conjecture (Late Middle English) ‘throw together’; deject (Late Middle English) ‘thrown down’; ejaculate (late 16th century) from jaculum ‘dart, something thrown’; eject (Late Middle English) ‘throw out’; inject (late 16th century) ‘throw in’; jetty (Late Middle English) something thrown out into the water; project (Late Middle English) ‘throw forth’; subject (Middle English) ‘thrown under’; trajectory (late 17th century) ‘something thrown across’. Especially if you use budget airlines, air travel today is far from glamorous, but in the 1950s the idea of flying abroad by jet aircraft was new and sophisticated. At the start of that decade people who flew for pleasure came to be known as the jet set.

Decades ago, mathematicians proved the corresponding conjectures for spheres of four dimensions and higher. But they also inspire new conjectures and ideas. Elemental cowboy concerns of earth and air are replaced by the abstract academic conjectures of scientists. Maybe there just is no mathematical proof whatsoever which decides the conjecture. By providing a molecular model of how the protein moves, experimental ideas and conjectures on the proton transfer process can be considered in some detail. Unable to deliver any semblance of scientific validity for their conjectures and unwilling to wait until their notions pass scientific muster, they have only the political process available. Third, scientists should regard theories as at best interesting conjectures. He proposed a demarcation criterion that, in his view, made the distinction between scientific theories and non-scientific conjectures. This work continues the tradition of mathematical experiment to help discover patterns, suggest conjectures, and develop new theorems. And has the conjecture been supported by rigorous mathematics or a mere dismissal? There still remain unproven conjectures such as the finiteness and consistency of any superstring theory, past the first three terms of a certain approximation scheme. This conjecture was worked on by many famous mathematicians. What leads a mathematician to make a conjecture? Indeed, this is far from a theoretical conjecture. Scientific theories are conjectures based upon interpretations of the data, and therefore are never ‘proven’, but merely supported or not by such interpretations. Everyone knows it holds true for every number you can think of but provide rigorous mathematical proof and you win yourself a million bucks - courtesy of the book's publisher, and in the process turn a conjecture into a theorem. Mathematical proofs of conjectures, however, require more than overwhelming numerical evidence. The generalised Poincaré conjecture has since been shown for all dimensions greater than 4, but the original conjecture has so far remained unproven. Such workshops will allow scientists to turn conjectures based on one instrument's tantalizing results into conclusions based on many separate lines of evidence. Synonyms concept, idea, notion, thought, generality, generalization, theory, theorem, formula, hypothesis, speculation, supposition, presumption 1.2 (in textual criticism) the suggestion or reconstruction of a reading of a text not present in the original source. （校勘时的）揣摩 Example sentencesExamples He is aware of the present trend away from textual conjecture. He was as sparing with critical opinions as he was with textual conjecture - only about ten percent of his notes might be called judicial. verbkənˈjekCHərkənˈdʒɛktʃər 1reporting verb Form an opinion or supposition about (something) on the basis of incomplete information. 推测，猜测，猜想 many conjectured that the jury could not agree he conjectured the existence of an otherwise unknown feature 他推测还有别的未知特征存在。 Example sentencesExamples It was also conjectured that individuals with high levels of anxious/ambivalent attachment would seek to maintain an extremely close relationship with their families because of fear of abandonment. It was conjectured that a spiral walkway would have led around the hill allowing a procession to reach the 120-foot high summit for pre-historic ceremonies. Therefore, this hypothesis conjectures that population density should be positively correlated with patch area. On the basis of this evidence, plus incredible intuition, he conjectured that all the complex zeros are on the critical line. Without conjecturing about the specifics of the various relationships, let's say that hypothetically they're intimidated by her due to her fairly strong personality, intelligence and beauty. Immediately after the accident it was conjectured that the dress had caught fire through contact with a cigarette or a lighted match, thrown down from a higher place above the stairs. Further, it was conjectured that the adolescents mistook superficial emotions, such as excitement and security, for genuine feelings of well-being. I can only conjecture the reasons that the organisers had for arranging this visit. Of course, if that had been the case I would conjecture the set would grow from two discs to about 48. This sort of cannibalism is an activity that scientists have long imagined and conjectured and in fact predicted but had never seen before. It was conjectured that English-speaking Chinese youth identify less with Chinese culture and are more isolated from their Chinese peers. In places where those records are incomplete or lost, we are left to conjecture when people from past centuries were born. Based on experimental evidence he was able to conjecture certain laws which were not verified until many years later. As an adhesive, we conjecture that energy in the fibrils is lost upon decohesion and unloading. Because of its posture, if it had been a human being, one might conjecture it was melancholy with a slight reluctance as to what it was doing, akin to a child in pursuit of a lost toy. He conjectured results about the number of solutions to polynomial equations over the integers using intuition on how algebraic topology should apply in this novel situation. It is conjectured that natural selection tuned the average connectivity in such a way that the network reaches a sparse graph of connections. Given this procedural assumption, that integration often creates a need for further integration, it is possible to conjecture the future development. From this, we conjecture global stability in certain cases. She resembles nothing more than one of those Neolithic ‘goddess’ figurines for which a fertility significance is usually conjectured. Synonyms guess, speculate, surmise, infer, fancy, imagine, believe, think, suspect, presume, assume, hypothesize, take as a hypothesis, theorize, form a theory, formulate a theory, suppose 1.1 (in textual criticism) propose (a reading). （校勘时）揣摩（文章） Example sentencesExamples There are several cases, however, where I have had to conjecture a reading of the text in order to make sense of it. As he conjectures that the story is not about the mutually longed-for tryst that he had read into her letters, he questions his own ability to interpret what is figured in a text. Synonyms put forward, volunteer, advance, submit, proffer, offer, air, bring up, suggest, propound, posit, propose, moot, ventilate, table, broach, lodge, introduce, put up, present Origin Late Middle English (in the senses ‘to divine’ and ‘divination’): from Old French, or from Latin conjectura, from conicere ‘put together in thought’, from con- ‘together’ + jacere ‘throw’.
