The process by which a conclusion is arrived at on the basis of other propositions is termed

Deriving a conclusion from other propositions taken as grounds is called inference.

Here the mind moves from what is already accepted to something new that follows from it.

The supporting propositions serve as the basis, and the derived proposition is the outcome.

This passage from grounds to a further claim is exactly the act of inferring.

It is neither a mere concept nor the meaning of a term, but a reasoned transition.
