Sumption (n)

It’s been a long time since I did any vanity browsing, but a search for Sumption reveals orders-of-magnitude more pages than when I last searched, several years ago. I was flabbergasted to see that Sumption is a word as well as a name! From http://www.brainydictionary.com/:

Sumption
(n.) A taking.
(n.) The major premise of a syllogism.

(not that I have much idea what that all means, I guess I’ll just have to wait for the release of slightly-less-brainy-dictionary to explain it in a few more words)
