the.com/basis
The excuse your argument leans on before it falls over.
means The foundation or main reason something rests on — the groundwork that supports a claim, decision, or system.
from From Latin 'basis,' borrowed from Greek 'basis' meaning 'step' or 'foundation,' itself from 'bainein,' 'to walk or step.' So a basis is literally what you stand on — the step beneath your feet before you build an argument on top of it.
