In philosophy, essence is the attribute or set of attributes that make ... what it fundamentally is, and which it has by necessity, and without which it loses its identity. Essence is contrasted with accident: a property that the entity ... has contingently, without which the substance can still retain its identity. The concept originates with Aristotle, who used the Greek expression ... literally 'the what it was to be', or sometimes the shorter ... 'the what it is' for the same idea. This phrase presented such difficulties for his Latin translators that they coined the word essentia (English "essence") to represent the whole expression.

Existentialism was coined by Jean-Paul Sartre's statement that for human beings "existence precedes essence."

"Pragmatism begins with the idea that belief is that upon which one is willing to act." - Wikipedia

In "How to Make Our Ideas Clear" Peirce argued for pragmatism as summed up in that which he later called the pragmatic maxim: "Consider what effects, that might conceivably have practical bearings, we conceive the object of our conception to have. Then, our conception of these effects is the whole of our conception of the object". - Wikipedia

“[T]he tangible fact at the root of all our thought-distinctions, however subtle, is that there is no one of them so fine as to consist in anything but a possible difference" - Wikipedia

"In order to form a more perfect union" means that the government was not perfect but that our founding fathers had a goal. - Wiki Answers

For example, the ability of experts in any field to effortlessly analyze and
remember complex problems within their field is a natural consequence of
their formation of increasingly refined conceptual hierarchies.

Origin:

Thus, English developed into a "borrowing" language of great flexibility
and with a huge vocabulary.
