Argument: a reason or set of reasons given in support of an idea, action or theory.
"there is a strong argument for submitting a formal appeal"
synonyms: reasoning, line of reasoning, logic, case; defence, justification, vindication, apology, explanation, rationalization; evidence, reasons, grounds; argumentation, polemic; assertion, declaration, claim, plea, contention, expostulation, demonstration
Middle English (in the sense ‘process of reasoning’): via Old French from Latin argumentum, from arguere ‘make clear, prove, call to account’.
Pink Panther wrote:”Argument” only has that confrontational sense when used in it’s vulgar form (i.e. colloquially) - it mainly means
“I find I am much prouder of the victory I obtain over myself, when, in the very ardor of dispute, I make myself submit to my adversary’s force of reason, than I am pleased with the victory I obtain over him through his weakness.”
― Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays

Please don't use great but relative sayings of well known people for your explanation because that is what they have said & they are not coming here to answer in your position. It is very easy to copy & paste what other have said under your name.
