Hypothesis: Also known as
For hypothesis, the word supposition is also found.

The word conjecture is frequently encountered, usually in the context of a statement whose truth value has remained unresolved for a considerable time after the passing of the one who first raised the question.

However, this usage is inconsistent.

The term open question is also encountered, usually in the context in which there is no evidence in either direction as to whether the statement is true or false.
