+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|dēdūcō|-tiō|t1=to lead away, bring down]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) [[m|la|dēdūcō]] is a compound of [[m|la|dē|t=down from]] and [[m|la|dūcō|t=to lead]], which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*douk-e-]] and [[ine-pro|*deuk-e/o-|t=to draw]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL finds it first in Cicero.^(TLL)^(Köbler 2010) He uses it of the draining off of the Alban water by the ancestors, and of the settling of colonists.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Its senses follow those of the verb.^(Lewis & Short 1879) It is a carrying to a destination, as Vitruvius' transport of architraves, and a drawing off of water.^(OLD 2012) It is the planting of a colony, and Cicero also uses it of billeting troops on towns.^(OLD 2012) In Roman law it is the escorting of a bride into her husband's house, and also the formal act of ejecting a rival claimant from land, which Cicero describes.^(OLD 2012) In accounts it is a deduction from a sum, and in rhetoric ''dēductiō ratiōnis'' is the narrowing of an argument to the point at issue.^(OLD 2012) Church Latin uses it of deduction and argument.^(Stelten 1995) In medieval Latin it is accompanying someone, and also amusement.^(Niermeyer 1976) English [[m|en|deduction]] came from it in the 15th century, partly through French.^(Etymonline)
