Definition
Plural of dogma; firmly held principles or beliefs accepted as true without questioning, especially in religion or ideology.
Etymology
From Greek 'dogma' meaning 'opinion' or 'that which seems good,' from 'dokein' meaning 'to seem.' The word entered English through Latin and French, particularly in religious contexts meaning church doctrine.
Kelly Says
The irony is that 'dogma' comes from a Greek root meaning 'seems good' or 'opinion'—yet it evolved to mean the opposite: unquestionable truth rather than mere opinion.
