con·jec·ture
/kənˈjekCHər/
noun
plural noun: conjectures
an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information.
"conjectures about the newcomer were many and varied".
A statement that might be true (based on some research or reasoning), but is not proven. So a conjecture is like an educated guess.
Example: I heard the sound of a plastic bag, so I conjecture there might be some food!
