hypothetical \haɪpəˈθɛtɪkl\

  1. Hypothétique.
    • Such a subjunctive as appears in the principal clause (i.e. the apodosis) of a conditional sentence may be called a hypothetical subjunctive. An hypothetical subjunctive expresses an action1 which, while its non-occurrence is implied, is yet supposed to occur, if some other action occur. — (Henry John Roby, A Latin grammar for schools, livre IV : Syntax or use of Inflexional Forms, chapitre XVIII, MacMillan and Co., Londres, 1882, nouvelle édition, p. 258)
