>From the CRC Encyclopedia of Mathematics:

"AXIOM: A proposition regarded as self-evidently true, without proof. The
word "axiom" is a slightly archaic synonym for 'postulate'. Compare
'conjecture' or 'hypothesis', both of which connote apparently true but
not self-evident statements."

>From the Wiki:
An axiom or postulate is a statement that is taken to be true, to serve as
a premise or starting point for further reasoning and arguments.
...
Within the system they define, axioms (unless redundant) cannot be derived
by principles of deduction, nor are they demonstrable by mathematical
proofs, simply because they are starting points; there is nothing else
from which they logically follow otherwise they would be classified as
theorems.
