OPINION

n.opin'yon. [L. opinio, from opinor, to thing, Gr. , L. suppono.] 1. The judgment which the mind forms of any proposition, statement, theory or event, the truth or falsehood of which is supported by a degree of evidence that renders it probably, but does not produce absolute knowledge or certainty. It has been a received opinion that all matter is comprised in four elements. This opinion is proved by many discoveries to be false. From circumstances we form opinions respecting future events.
Opinion is when the assent of the understanding is so far gained by evidence of probability, that it rather inclines to one persuasion than to another, yet not without a mixture of uncertainty or doubting.
2. The judgment or sentiments which the mind forms of persons or their qualities. We speak of a good opinion, a favorable opinion, a bad opinion, a private opinion, and public or general opinion, etc.
Friendship gives a man a peculiar right and claim to the good opinion of his friend.
3. Settled judgment or persuasion; as religious opinions; political opinion.
4. Favorable judgment; estimation.
In actions of arms, small matters are of great moment, especially when they serve to raise an opinion of commanders.
However, I have no opinion of these things -

opinion noun she did not share her husband's opinion: belief, judgment, thought (s ), (way of ) thinking, mind, (point of ) view, viewpoint, outlook, attitude, stance, position, perspective, persuasion, standpoint; sentiment, conception, conviction. PHRASES a matter of opinion whether his art is worthy of an exhibition is a matter of opinion: debatable, open to question, open to debate, a moot point, up to the individual. be of the opinion we are of the opinion that his poetry lacks insight: believe, think, consider, maintain, reckon, estimate, feel, have a /the feeling, contend, be convinced; informal allow; formal opine. in my opinion in my opinion, the green tiles clash with the yellow walls: as I see it, to my mind, (according ) to my way of thinking, personally, in my estimation, if you ask me, for my money, in my book. CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD opinion, belief, conviction, persuasion, sentiment, view When you give your opinion on something, you offer a conclusion or a judgment that, although it may be open to question, seems true or probable to you at the time (she was known for her strong opinions on women in the workplace ). A view is an opinion that is affected by your personal feelings or biases (his views on life were essentially optimistic ), while a sentiment is a more or less settled opinion that may still be colored by emotion (her sentiments on aging were shared by many other women approaching fifty ). A belief differs from an opinion or a view in that it is not necessarily the creation of the person who holds it; the emphasis here is on the mental acceptance of an idea, a proposition, or a doctrine and on the assurance of its truth (religious beliefs; his belief in the power of the body to heal itself ). A conviction is a firmly-held and unshakable belief whose truth is not doubted (she could not be swayed in her convictions ), while a persuasion (in this sense ) is a strong belief that is unshakable because you want to believe that it's true rather than because there is evidence proving it so (she was of the persuasion that he was innocent ).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
