arguendo (not comparable)

1. (law) for the sake of argument; assuming without deciding; identifying the premises of a hypothetical argument while making it clear that no finding is being made on whether the premises are true.
   • 1978, Matter of Green, 586 F. 2d 1247 - U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit

     Assuming arguendo that those assertions are factually true, we find respondent's claim to be without legal merit.

2. (law) Used to set off the facts presented in an argument on a point of law from facts in dispute in the case.

• Used after the word it modifies, due to the influence of Latin grammar - assuming arguendo not *arguendo assuming.
