New word learnt today: Tenet
Pronounced: Ten - net
Definition: To hold a belief to be true.
Meaning: Any opinion, principle, dogma, belief, or doctrine, which a person holds or maintains as true.
In a sentence: You have a tenet that we should work on paper. I say we should change that belief and work in the computer.
Memory trick: Ten - et
Ten reminds of tend or likely to do
Tenet in Latin means "he holds"
So remember "tend" or "he holds" a belief
