1485, ‘statement of self-evident truth’, from French axiome, from Latin axiōma, from Greek axiōma ‘valuation; dignity; that which is thought worthy or fit’, from axioun ‘to think worthy’, from axios ‘worthy, precious; right and proper’, from axiā ‘value, worth’, built on a lost noun *ak-tis ‘weight’, from agein ‘weigh; lead, guide’, from PIE base *ag-ty-o- ‘weighty’, suffixed form of *ag-, ‘to drive, draw out or forth, move’.
