    thanks etj,

    probably yes, but as I choice always English words with Latin origins (...well: roots ;) I already known the existence of to deduce but in Eatalian we have both: to deduce and to desume with the second with a bit of personal sense, not irrational but somenthing bound to your own perception. The two verbs are generally used as synonyms but the semantic is, at least for me, a bit different.

    desumere: derivation from Latin desumĕre (de-sumĕre) to take for yourself
    dedurre: derivation from Latin deducĕre (de-ducĕre) to take from smth

    L*

      Wiktionary: desume

      But yeah, no one ever uses that (anymore?).
