Theory in afsoomaali ''Aragti'

[DALMAR0_0]

Recently found that argati means theory in afsomali and I'm wondering why is aragti used for theory?

Aragti is more like hypothesis in abstract sense

theory means well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment - does 'argati' fit this? Argati is more like perception and scientifically more like hypothesis

Are there other words used to mean theory? If not wat are equivalent terms in afsomali

Im not sure about other languages but Wiktionary told me this is the etymology of "theory":

《From Middle French théorie, from Late Latin theōria, from Ancient Greek θεωρία (theōría, “contemplation, divine perspective, speculation, a looking at, a seeking”), from θεωρέω (theōréō, “I look at, view, see, consider, examine”), from θεωρός (theōrós, “spectator”), from θέα (théa, “view, perspective, sight”) + ὁράω (horáō, “I see, look”) [i. e. θέαν ὁράω (théan horáō, “see, look at a view; survey + genitive”)].》

So then the original meaning of theory was to view something and consider it like in the word "aragti", but it evolved in other languages

I thought aragti was like viewpoint?

Aragti is something established that fits the scientific definition of a theory than colloquially that is closer to a hypothesis. It means "what has been seen and observed" in an organized, packaged/conceptualized in an interpreted way, while arag means to see.
