Explain an enthymeme

A few sentences in your own words.

What is an enthymeme, and how does it work? Give one example and name the unstated premise (or conclusion) the argument is counting on the audience to supply.

An enthymeme is a 'silent argument.' Pick a short claim, then say out loud the assumption it leaves unstated and expects the audience to already believe.
