In"fer*ence (?), n. [From Infer.]
[1913 Webster]
1. The act or process of inferring by deduction or induction.
[1913 Webster]
Though it may chance to be right in the conclusions, it is yet unjust and mistaken in the method of inference.
Glanvill.
[1913 Webster]
2. That which inferred; a truth or proposition drawn from another which is admitted or supposed to be true; a conclusion; a deduction. Milton.
[1913 Webster]
These inferences, or conclusions, are the effects of reasoning, and the three propositions, taken all together, are called syllogism, or argument.
I. Watts.
Syn. -- Conclusion; deduction; consequence. -- Inference, Conclusion. An inference is literally that which is brought in; and hence, a deduction or induction from premises, -- something which follows as certainly or probably true. A conclusion is stronger than an inference; it shuts us up to the result, and terminates inquiry. We infer what is particular or probable; we conclude what is certain. In a chain of reasoning we have many inferences, which lead to the ultimate conclusion. “An inference is a proposition which is perceived to be true, because of its connection with some known fact.” “When something is simply affirmed to be true, it is called a proposition; after it has been found to be true by several reasons or arguments, it is called a conclusion.” I. Taylor.
[1913 Webster]
