beg

beg the question

1 raise a point that has not been dealt with; invite an obvious question.

2 avoid the question

3 assume the truth of an argument or of a proposition to be proved, without arguing it.

☞ The original meaning of the phrase beg the question belongs to the field of logic and is a translation of Latin petitio principii, literally meaning 'laying claim to a principle', i.e. assume the truth of something that ought to be proved first. For many traditionalists this remains the only correct meaning, but far commoner in English today is the first sense here, 'invite an obvious question'.
