induct

c.1378, from L. inductus, pp. of inducere "to lead" (see induce). Originally of church offices; sense of "bring into military service" is 1934 in Amer.Eng. Induction as a term of logic (c.1440) is from L. inductio, used by Cicero to translate Gk. epagoge "leading to" in Aristotle; as a term of science, c.1800. Induction starts with known instances and arrives at generalizations; deduction starts from the general principal and arrives at some individual fact.
