The term "propound" has long been employed in literature as a formal way to introduce or set forth theories, ideas, or proposals for consideration. In classical texts like Plato’s dialogues [1, 2] and later philosophical works by Hobbes [3], the word conveys the act of presenting a notion with deliberation and authority. Similarly, in religious and allegorical narratives such as Bunyan’s works [4, 5, 6], it is used to mark the moment when an idea or ideal is offered up for debate or acceptance. Authors in varied genres—ranging from Whitman’s reflective prose [7] and Wagner’s revolutionary discussions [8] to Chesterton’s critiques [9, 10] and even to the playful puzzles in Dudeney’s work [11]—employ "propound" to invite their audience into a contemplative dialogue. Meanwhile, figures like Santayana [12], Freud [13], and Shaw [14] use the term to denote the structured presentation of complex arguments, underscoring its enduring role as a vehicle for intellectual and rhetorical inquiry throughout literary history.
