Yeah, John Ruskin, that great orthodox theologian. Maybe you should put a + sign in front of his name?
I do not think Ruskin had the same difficulty with English that you exhibited here.
P-Marlowe, a simple Google dictionary or an oxford or Merriam-Webster's dictionary will fully support Ruskin's definitions. You listed a very deficient (and secular) definition of the word "assume." Annalex correctly showed you that your definition was incomplete.
