‖ epicheirema|ˌɛpɪkaɪˈriːmə| Also 8 epichirema. [mod.L., a. Gr. ἐπιχείρηµα lit. ‘an attempt’, f. ἐπιχειρέειν to undertake, f. ἐπί upon + χείρ hand.] (See quots.) Aristotle used the word to denote ‘an attempted proof, such as is used in Dialectic, being something short of a demonstrated conclusion’ (Liddell & Scott); the use defined below is due to a misunderstanding of his meaning.
