Infer
Definition:
(v. t.) To bring on; to induce; to occasion.
(v. t.) To offer, as violence.
(v. t.) To bring forward, or employ as an argument; to adduce; to allege; to offer.
(v. t.) To derive by deduction or by induction; to conclude or surmise from facts or premises; to accept or derive, as a consequence, conclusion, or probability; to imply; as, I inferred his determination from his silence.
(v. t.) To show; to manifest; to prove.
Example Sentences:
(1) Consensual but rationally weak criteria devised to extract inferences of causality from such results confirm the generic inadequacy of epidemiology in this area, and are unable to provide definitive scientific support to the perceived mandate for public health action.
