context: Deductive reasoning, or valid reasoning, is a reasoning that necessarily leads to a true conclusion. [1] Sometimes deductive reasoning is defined by stating that reasoning proceeds by deriving generalization from an individual case conclusion. The word 'deduction' comes from the Latin word deduco, which means 'to bring forth'. As its name implies, deductive reasoning does not provide new information, but "brings forth" the assumption contained in the given assumptions. By this is meant that deductive reasoning is inference from known cases to other known cases.
