From the word’s history
From Middle English proposen, from Old French proposer, from Latin prōpōnere.
源自古法文 proposer，來自拉丁文 prōpōnere。
Picture setting something down on the table in front of other people and back: here it is — now you decide. The word is always that gesture of putting forward for a response. What gets put forward changes (a plan, a name, a theory, a question about marriage, a toast), but the shape never does: one side offers, the other side answers.
