The term "begged question" is often misunderstood as a question that has been asked too many times already. However, the correct definition of the term is an argument or statement that assumes the truth of the thing it is trying to prove. Antonyms for "begged question" include "conclusive argument," "irrefutable evidence," and "logical reasoning." These terms all suggest a more sound and rational approach to argumentation, without relying on unsupported assumptions. It is important to recognize when we are falling into the trap of begging the question and to strive for more rigorous thinking in our discussions and debates.
