What does THESIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A claim put forward to be argued for, or a long piece of written research submitted for a university degree.
In everyday academic life the word has two uses. A thesis may be the central claim of an essay that the rest of the text sets out to prove, or it may be the whole dissertation a student writes to earn a higher degree. In older philosophy it also names the first step of an argument, answered by an antithesis and resolved by a synthesis. The plural is theses. The word is Greek for a placing or a setting down.
How THESIS is used
Common in education; the plural is theses, pronounced with a long e.
