A dilemma is a conflict, problem, or situation with
two possible solutions. When a dilemma occurs, a person has to make the difficult choice between two desirable options, or, contrastingly, two undesirable options. The word comes from the Greek dilēmma (di “twice” + lēmma “premise”); it is a term used in logic and rhetoric when causing an opponent to choose between two unfavorable options.
Your mom gave you two choices: do the dishes or
clean the bathroom. Neither sounded like much fun. What a dilemma.
