Dogma
The word dogma corresponds to a fixed, especially religious, belief or set of beliefs that are laid down by an authority as unquestionably true. People are expected to accept these beliefs without any doubts.
Origin
The word has been around since about 1600. It is derived from the Latin dogma meaning “philosophical tenet” and is from Greek dogma, meaning “opinion, tenet” and literally “that which one thinks is true”. While the word was regarded in 17th and 18th Centuries as a Greek word in English, it was subsequently changed to be a native English word.
The word was rather popular in the second half of the 19th Century and its usage has ebbed and flowed since then.
Usage
From a young age, she was known for her ability to question and even burst the bubble of generally accepted dogma.
