Meaning Of Enthymeme
n.
An argument consisting of only two propositions, an
antecedent and consequent deduced from it; a syllogism with one premise

major proposition is suppressed. The complete syllogism would be,
Dependent creatures should be humble; we are dependent creatures;
therefore we should be humble.
