# Dilemma wiki:: [Dilemma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilemma) > A **Dilemma** (Greek: δίλημμα "double proposition") is a problem offering two possibilities, neither of which is unambiguously acceptable or preferable. The possibilities are termed the horns of the dilemma, a clichéd usage, but distinguishing the dilemma from other kinds of predicament as a matter of usage. ---
