INFER
What infer means
To reach a conclusion or form an opinion based on evidence, clues, or reasoning rather than direct statement or observation.
Where the word comes from
From Old French "inferer," meaning to bring in or lead to a conclusion. This comes from Latin "inferre," composed of the prefix "in-" (in, into) and "ferre" (to carry, bear). The sense shifted from the literal "to carry in" to the logical meaning of drawing a conclusion from evidence or premises.
